I think these muffins are my latest favourite food find, they are wonderful! I did make a couple of changes, I used wholemeal self-rising flour, semi-skimmed milk (did not have buttermilk to hand) and added about 1/4 cup of wheat bran to the mixture. I got about 12 muffins from the mixture. I froze some and they still tasted great when defrosted, even my 12 year old DS likes them! Thanks for posting this recipe Deely.

Wonderful, hearty muffins! Other than not sifting the brown sugar, I followed the recipe exactly. I did end up with 17 muffins--froze several and will look forward to pulling them out of the freezer for quick breakfasts. Thanks for sharing your friend's recipe!

A really tasty muffin! I think the next time I make this I will soak the bran flakes in the buttermilk for 5 minutes just combine the flakes better into the mixture. These are a dense rich great tasting muffin, I added in raisins to the batter. Great recipe Dee, I will make these again soon!...Kitten:)
