I love this recipe. I was going to make the one on the back of the box, but yours looked so much tastier. The only change I made was instead of vanilla, I used 1 Tbsp. Molasses. I like the depth it gives to bran muffins. If you've never tried oat bran, get your feet wet with this recipe...it's yummy. Thank you for posting!

I made several adaptations to accommodate my diet, but otherwise a great recipe. I used Sugar Twin brown sugar and chopped apples instead of raisins. I also used 2 egg whites in place of 1 whole egg, reduced the vegetable oil to 2 T, and bumped up the applesauce to about 1 1/4 cups. I got about 2 1/2 dozen muffins. The result was a moist, tasty treat!
