    The bran makes this a tasty alternative to the usual banana muffins. I added chocolate chips to mine.

    Nice healthy twist, great flavor, you wouldn’t suspect these are good for you! Kids can help pour the batter into the muffin cups!

    This is a great recipe! I used 1 1/2 cups of natural wheat bran and added 1 tsp cinnamon and 1 cup frozen blueberries. Yummy and healthy too!

    I substituted some whole wheat flour and added flax seeds. They were moist and tasty. My second batch in 24 hours are baking right now!

    I added 1 teaspoon of allspice to the recipe and sprinkled some sugar on top of the muffins before baking.

    These are great muffins and with a little doctoring they can become extremely nutritious as well. I substitute 1 1/2 cups of flax seed meal for the butter, and I add walnuts and cinnamon for extra texture and flavor. If I have soy milk around I use that instead of the cows milk. You wind up with very dense, tasty muffins that are extremely good for you.

    These were really good mufins. The only problem I had was the paper cups came out drenched and greasy. I’m assuming it was the butter. I’ll make a few adjustments next time.

    These are my very favorite muffins of all time!! I will make these all the time now. I used part whole wheat flour, part all purp flour. I also added a little wheat germ for that “extra” health bonus, and I used oat bran instead of wheat bran. EXCELLENT!!
