Bran Buds Muffins

Submitted by precious

"I love this recipe because it has spice. It is not overly sweet, it isn't bland either. The fat content isn't too high. I got the recipe from an old box of Kellogg's Bran Buds."

These muffins were easy and came out so great! Only change I made was to use fresh blueberries and dried cherries in place of raisins and I doubled the amount of fruit called for. The muffins are so delicious, and healthy too! So pleased! This is a keeper recipe!

My daughter loves these and wants a fresh batch baked every time she visits. Easy to whip up a batch in the time it takes for the oven to pre-heat. Healthy & tasty. Why waste money and lose flavour buying mix?

Loved these! I sub'd brown sugar Splenda & instead of raisins added a dried berry mix. Will be making these all the time!

We had these muffins for breakfast this morning. I had some Raisin Bran cereal that I used instead of the bran buds. Nice flavor with the pumpkin pie spice and very similar to the bran muffins my mom used to make.
