I've made these as written and they are great (note that they make a bigger batch than many recipes) but I now make a few alterations to up the "healthy factor". I use 3/4 C packed brown sugar, whole wheat pastry flour and applesauce in place of the oil. I also measure a little generously with the molasses (black strap) because I love it and it's great iron. Thanks so much for sharing this! My kids enjoy it also.

This is very similar to the recipe I use--love it! I reduce the sugar to 2/3 cup, use all whole wheat flour (adding 1 1/2 tsp bkg powder and 1/4 cup milk or some yogurt to make up for it) and add some cinnamon when I make them. I also soak the bran in the buttermilk for 10 minutes before mixing in the rest.

Great basic bran muffin recipe, really easy to make. I did not add anything to the muffins, but next time would consider adding fruit or nuts. Fantastic recipe for using up a litre of buttermilk!

Amazing, moist muffins! I halved the recipe and added chopped 1/4 cup of oatmeal, almonds, craisins, cinnamon and ground ginger, subbed honey for molasses since that's what I had.

Soft, just slightly sweet and wonderful! I didn't have wheat bran so adjusted by soaking some Fiber One cereal in the buttermilk and proceeded from there. Left 1/2 pure and topped the remaining 2/3 with some raisins and dried cranberries reconstituted in some apple liqueur. Any cereal that didn't soften were mistaken for nuts because of the bit of crunch. Mixed all before bed. Preheated the oven while coffee brewed and I showered, baked while I dressed. My office thought I must have gotten up at 4AM to bake for them. These were enjoyed by everyone! Thank you for sharing.

Great breakfast muffins. I made half a recipe to get twelve wonderful muffins. I did add dried apple chunks. Will try other fruit next time just for variety.

First time reviewing a recipe on here and i use it almost every day. These muffins are very good. I made no changes either except to add raisins to the mix. Perfect timing and raised beautifully. It made almost 2 dozen regular sized muffins plus 12 mini muffins. My 20 month old ate 3 right away..so thats a good muffin!

Great, easy recipe. I also used whole wheat pastry flour instead of white flour. They were delicious!

I really like this muffin recipe. Nice texture, nice taste. I only used 3/4 cup of sugar. I think the molasses is great. I made half plain, half with mini chocolate chips (for my DS). I will make again and probably with other fruits (raisins and blueberries attract me). The bran in these makes you feel like you have had something satisfying to eat. Recommended!

A good muffin. Like some others, I used sucanat and whole wheat pastry flour. I made half the recipe and added 1/2 cup chocolate chips for kid appeal. (No kidding, I think they would eat ANYTHING with a few morsels thrown in!) No one raved, but the kids deemed this one a keeper, and I'm just glad to get some bran into my crew!

Perfect recipe! I wouldn't change anything - tasty & moist! Delicious just like this - no need to warm or add butter.

These muffins are moist and light which can be hard to come by in a bran muffin. I reduced the sugar to apporximately 3/4 cup, and added 1 cup of chocolate chips. My boys won't touch muffins unless there is chocolate involved. The molasses wasn't overwhelming at all. I would have liked more of a molasses flavour but my boys probably wouldn't eat them then. Surprisingly, my boys (5 & 3) ate two each so 5 stars for this one!

These muffins were very good. When they first came out of the oven I thought they were just okay but when they cooled they were delicious. I'm making them again now!

These muffins are very moist and have a great flavor! We add blueberries to ours, and they are delicious. I use slightly less than a cup of sugar, and they are just sweet enough (I've never tried it with the full cup though). Excellent!

These were good. I added fresh blueberries and reduced the sugar to 3/4 cup like a lot of people. I think I would have like the full sugar in these, even though I generally like things less sweet.

Yum, I love bran muffins, everytime i make these, they disappear so fast. When i make the batter i use 1-cup of wheat bran and 1-cup of oat bran, then I add 1-cup of either raisins, or Trader Joes berry medley. I let the batter sit in refrigerator over night, and right before baking i will add a large apple, peeled, cored and diced. These are my favorite muffins, thank you.
