These are classic bran muffins and they are very good. I cut the sugar to 1/2 cup and used brown sugar Splenda and added 1 tblsp of molasses. I also added 1 tsp cinnamon and upped the vanilla to 1 tsp. Sometimes I add some chopped walnuts in addition to the raisins. I like that the recipe uses raw bran which is cheaper to use than bran cereal.

Yep, these are the muffins Mama used to make. Changes due to what I had available: melted butter instead of oil, Fiber One cereal instead of brand mentioned, vinegar and milk instead of buttermilk, and white whole wheat flour instead of all-purpose flour. I added blueberries to the second half of the batter. Awesome delicious either way. Next batch I'm going to try adding drained crushed pineapple. Thank you for the food memory from my childhood!

Probably the best bran muffin recipe I have made! I used skim milk and lemon juice in place of the buttermilk and replaced half the oil with applesauce to make them healthier. I also used 3/4 cup frozen blueberries instead of raisins as a personal preference. They did take about 25 mins to bake but this was probably due to the liquid in the blueberries. Next time I will try using whole wheat flour and will decrease the sugar (they were a bit too sweet for me) to make them even healthier.

Hi my name is Katherine and I live in Leduc, Alberta, Canada which is 15 minutes south of Edmonton and home to the world famous West Edmonton Mall. I work for the Royal Canadian Mounted Police (R.C.M.P.), which is a extremely interesting job.
My family consists of my husband Brian and we had a blue eyed Siberian Husky named Yukon who loved her 2 to 3 walks a day. Yukon passed away on July 24/07 at the age of 14 years & 7 months.
We have a beautiful male Tuxedo cat named Kuffs, whom we rescued in December, 2006. He around 6 weeks old & was dumped off at my husband's business in -30 Celcius weather & was half froze when Brian found him. Kuffs brought back life into Yukon for the nine months that he was with her. Those two certainly loved to cuddle & chase one another. After Yukon's passing, Kuffs quit eating, looked for Yukon & cried constantly. We had full intentions of getting him a playmate but it happened sooner than later.
That same week we went to the Humane Society (SPCA)& adopted a gorgeous little female pure grey kitten & named her Jesse. She is just precious & became Kuffs baby sister.
I love to try different recipes and Recipezaar has provided me with some of the most tasty and wonderful recipes yet.
