I too have used this recipe since the early 80s and it is failproof. I mistakenly left the brown sugar out one time and they turned out fine. I never used the brown sugar again. I tend to use canola rather than shortening and that too lends itself to a nice muffin. <br/><br/>Another nice variation is to omit the molasses, and make the bran mixture a half and half concoction of wheat bran and wheat germ. Also very good. The variations are endless.

I have used this recipe since the 70’s.I ate it at a friend’s house and it has been my go to recipe ever since.She added 1 tsp of cinnamon as do I. I have used blueberries ,raisins, and even whole cranberries on occasion. It makes beautifully moist tasty muffins. However they never last long enough to get stale. My grandchildren love them and it is a great way to add fiber to their diet.
