These turned out great! I didn't change much, I used less salt, turned the temp. down to 375 and cook time to 20 min. They are perfect...topped with butter while they're still hot, mmm. I did crush the cereal and then measured it so they were more dense, but still light and fluffy. A great way to use up that leftover cereal.

These are very good and easy to make. My BF requests a batch of these almost every week. Have replaced honey for the sugar a few times and use Raisin Bran Crunch instead of regular Raisin Bran. Doubling the recipe makes 12 good size muffins. Thanks for the recipe!

After reading the reviews which were VERY helpful, I changed this recipe-- COMPLETELY. I upped the bran cereal and milk, used buttermilk powder, added orange extract,dried cranberries and walnuts for flavor- substituted applesauce and honey to increase the moisture and sprinkled with brown sugar. I also decreased the salt and baking times. I think I created my own recipe-- If you would like to try these yummy muffins- I submitted them under the name--- Coffee House bran muffins.

I haven't tasted these yet, but for ease of prep and the way they smell they get 4 stars. I did double the recipe thinking I would get 24 muffins to take some to my neighbors, but I only got 12 good sized muffins, so next time I will triple the recipe and fill the muffin cup just a little less. I also think I might add a pinch of cinnamon and maybe some chopped walnuts.

Good muffins. Instead of Raisin Bran I used a Fruit and Grain cereal which gave it some nice additional fruit and nut flavors. I also used vegetable oil instead of shortening, increased the sugar slightly and added some cinnamon for more flavor. I doubled the recipe and it made 11 large muffins. They freeze real well. I take one out of the freezer for breakfast.

These muffins were light and fluffy, and not too sweet. I substituted honey for the sugar to make them a bit healthier. Not your typical heavy bran muffin, though I may try it with part whole wheat flour next time.

YUMMY and very quick. I used the suggestions below...took out the salt, used applesauce instead of oil, used half organic wheat and half organic white flour. Added a few spices and a 1/4 of chopped dates. They came out fabulous. I will keep this one in my recipe box. YUMMY THANKS

These came out good, but I changed/added several things: 1/2 whole wheat & 1/2 all-purpose flour, used oil instead of shortening, added more raisins, added chopped pecans, and added cinnamon, ground ginger, nutmeg, and vanilla extract. Also, it made 9 regular-sized muffins, not 12. Only cooked them for 20 minutes. Would make them again (with the changes...)

I wouldn't make these again. The cooking time is to long, they are to small, dry and flavorless.

If you are looking for a muffin that tastes like a cupcake forget it. If you want a muffin for the times when a bowl of cereal is impractical, this is it.This is a plain, not very sweet muffin. I used honey instead of sugar, applesauce instead of oil. I whipped the egg white seperately & folded that in. I also added cinnamon & left out the salt. I got 12 regular sized muffins, no problem.

Very good! Not as bran-y as your typical raisin bran muffins. (Or as my brother put it, "these don't taste like health food.") Quick and easy to prepare, too. However I only got nine relatively small muffins out of this amount of batter, I would double the ingredients when making it again.

I think these muffins would be great if they were properly sized. The recipe says 8 servings. But, the recipe itself says to grease 12 muffin cups and so I made 12 muffins and there was not enough batter for them. I baked them 20 minutes instead of 30 because of their size. Since there were no spices in the recipe, I added 1/2 teaspoon cinamon and 1/4 teaspoon nutmeg. I would suggest reducing the salt as well and possibly using oil rather than shortening. I would add 1/4 cup of raisins since I don't think there were enough in the original recipe.

Not the absolute best muffin I've added, but very tasty and moist as well. My two year old son loved them. I never used the salt and they turned out fine. I also substituted the sugar with half cup of black-strap molasses. Since Raisin Bran doesn't have enough raisins when only using one cup, I recommend adding other chopped fruit.

Five star because husband LOVED them. I wasn't too thrilled. It was very salty, next time I might cut the salt in 1/2. For those who don't want whole flakes in their muffins try soaking the flakes in the milk mixture for 10-15 minutes. I did that and there was no sign of the flakes
