Fantastic! Made it into muffins, added nutmeg, vanilla, raisins, and some pecans. Next time I'd try it w/ shredded apples.

This recipe is so nice for a healthy treat. I look forward to having a muffin with coffee in the morning completely guilt free!! I substituted shortning for low fat sour cream with a tablespoon of canola oil, added a teaspoon of vanilla and substituted regular sugar with splenda blend brown and white sugar.

This is fantastic. I cut the sugar slightly and add a few additional spices, it is still a big hit with just about everyone.

Sorry but mine turned out dense and chewy...is it because I used baking powder instead of soda? Ah well, my toddler thought they were pretty tasty at least. Looks like he'll be the one eating them.

People go crazy every time I make this! I often switch out applesauce for the shortening, and it's still wonderfully moist. For something more indulgent, I make a cream cheese icing and decorate with toasted almonds and coconut. This cake is famous!

I made these just as stated and they are wonderful. It is a cake texture, but graet for getting some bran into the kid. I gave 4 stars because the cooking time is off if you do muffins, about 20 to 25. The kid loved them, so that was good. I am going to try again with less sugar just for health issues. This would be good with raisins also. Thank you! I also add flax meal.

I followed this recipe to the T and it FANTASTIC! We made muffins out of it. My oven did take 20 - 25 minutes to bake the muffins, not 15 like the recipe stated. It made 18 muffins in my muffin tins. And whoever said they were too sweet for a breakfast muffin was mistaken according to our taste. These were just right!

Just made this cake for Hubby's birthday. I wanted to find something that was healthier and this cake worked out great! Here are the changes I made: For the flour I used 1 cup whole wheat flour and 1/2 cup white flour. For the cup of white sugar I used 2/3 cup white sugar and 1/3 cup honey and 1/2 cup unsalted butter for the shortening. I also added: 1 teas. vanilla, some chopped walnuts and a handful of raisons. We are lovin it! Great warm from the oven and it doesn't need any frostening, although some fat free cool whip or dream whip made with skim milk would be an excellent topping.

Great low-carb recipe! I added rasins. Don't worry when the mix feels really thick - as soon as you add the oatmeal & bran it becomes a perfect batter. Plenty sweet and moist.

I made this tonight trying to find a healthier alternative for Thanksgiving cake. This was fabulos! I added 1 tsp vanilla, 1/2 white and brown sugars, and 1/2 cp vanilla ff yogurt w/1 tbsp canola oil. I also added 1 cp shredded zucchini, 1/2 cp raisins and 1/2 cp pecans. Had to bake about 15-20 minutes longer as a muffin so the inside would get done. Great recipe: only 3 points a muffin if you are on Weight Watchers!

This was great--very moist and I loved the texture from the bran and oatmeal. I added a tsp of vanilla like others suggested. Also, I used quick oats and regular All Bran.

What is whole bran? Is it the bran flake cereal or the bran buds? Would like to try this cake. Not sure what type to use. Thanks

I used 1 tsp cinnamon, reduced the sugar to 3/4 c (it had a perfect level of sweetness), used 1/2 whole wheat and 1/2 white flour, and added walnuts. It was very good, and I imagine that shredded carrots and/or cream cheese frosting would be delicious.

This was great! Moist and light... I made it in a bundt pan, and it took a bit longer to cook than I thought it would. My husband suggested I jazz it up with raisins and walnuts next time.
