Honey Bran Muffins

"My mom used to always make bran muffins (boxed mix) and threw a banana or nuts in for a change. This sounds just as easy as a mix, but without the extra preservatives."

  1. Best bran muffin of all time !!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
     
  2. Boy these are wonderful muffins! Loved the addition of the pineapple juice; the flavor is subtle but you can tell it's there, great with the honey and raisins. I made half a batch and got 12 good-sized muffins. Mine stuck to the paper liners a bit so next time I will use foil liners or just grease the muffin pan. Thanks for sharing a keeper!
     
  3. These muffins are really great, & although I did allow my other half to share at one of his meetings, I kept 6 of them just for us & the 2nd day I thought they were even better! Really enjoyed the raisins & pineapple juice in these & will happily make them again & I suspect they will keep well in the freezer, too (will have to check that out next time around)! Thanks for posting the recipe! [Tagged & made in Please Review My Recipe]

<p><span><strong>I am a stay at home mom to two wonderful boys; Joshua (8years), Kaiden (5 years), and baby GIRL, Madalynn (19 months)! &nbsp;I also have&nbsp;two fur babies (cats); Kobee, AJ; we had to put our youngest cat Sly down Jan 2014. :(. I am also&nbsp;married to my best friend, Jeff and have been since April 2005.&nbsp; I love cooking, hate cleaning and will do whatever I can to get out of it!&nbsp;&nbsp;I&nbsp;love grilling and baking.&nbsp;&nbsp;I do most of the grilling at my house, and bake for almost a week straight at Christmas time!&nbsp; I can make or will attempt just about anything,&nbsp;though I rarely make&nbsp;brownies, my husband's are the best!&nbsp; Homemade breads are not my friend, so I am always working on bread baking.</strong></span></p> <p><span><strong>As for recipe ideas (besides zaar) Cooking Light Cookbooks are my favorites.&nbsp; I love to make new meals and try new things; it is hard though because my husband is picky when it comes to veggies (and hates seafood); If it were up to him we would have baked-bread crumb chicken and white rice at least one meal a day!&nbsp; Over the past couple years with zaar, I have found tons of new recipes&nbsp;my family&nbsp;normally wouldn&rsquo;t eat&nbsp;but have been happily surprised with new favorites.</strong></span></p> <p><span><strong>I&nbsp;love to join in&nbsp;all of the tag games; I haven't been as present as I would like, but as soon as my Jeff is back from working in Ohio I will be back in full tagging mode! </strong></span></p> <p><span><strong>Cooking is my hobby and passion, I always like to host the family get togethers and volunteer for the potluck dishes.&nbsp; Most of all though&nbsp;are my kids; being home all day with them is fun and challenging, but I wouldn&rsquo;t trade it for any salary!!</strong></span></p>
