The reviewer gave this recipe 4 stars. This recipe averages a 4.74 star rating.
Reviewed: Jul. 6, 2008
I must not have been doing something right, because I changed a few things and the muffins turned out a little dry and not very sweet - only 2 yolks, 5 whites, 1 1/2 cup shredded carrots, low-sugar apple juice instead of pineapple, a combo of golden/regular raisins and cranberries, wheat flour... However, they were still good, especially warm with a little butter. So, if you want decent health-nut muffins, then change away, but for really delicious muffins, stick with the original recipe.

I tried these muffins having great expectations after reading all the reviews, but didn't think they were that stellar. The muffins were a little dry and not very sweet. I had even added some craisins, apple butter, and cinnamon to give them more flavor but they were still bland. They were better warmed with a little butter, but I plan to try another bran muffin recipe next time.

These are great. I was so confused as to what type of bran to use, that I used a combination of 3 different types. One cup oat bran, one cup Fiber One (kind of like All Bran - the sesame noodle looking cereal) and 2 cups of crushed up Bran Flakes. They turned out great and the texture is amazing. Not dry at all. I also used one of the chopped dried fruit medleys with pineapple, papaya and mango instead of raisins...mmm, mmm good.

These muffins were very moist and so delicious! I did make a few changes: I used bran flakes and I reduced the raisins to 1 1/2 c. and added 1/2 c. of dried mixed fruit, consisting of pineapple and papaya pieces.

Awesome muffins... I received MANY compliments from my mom's Bible study group this morning. Used apple juice, half canola oil/olive oil (ran out), and added 1 cup shredded carrots. Recipe made 2 dozen muffins. Will make again...next time I will follow the recipe exactly as I bet the results will be the same (but I didn't have any pineapple juice in the house.)

This is a great recipe. It was definitely better when I left it chill in the fridge overnight. I used craisins and regular raisins in place of the golden raisins. Turned out great!

It's pretty good. Way too much fruit, though, borders on fruitcake only much lighter. But would not turn me off from bran. But it is a lot of sugar. I will try half the fruit and water next time and add nuts. Listen to the reviews that say 15 minutes. I made this for the staff at church this morning. I hope they like it.

My kids don't like raisins, so I switch them to pineapple chunks. It makes the muffins a little sweeter but no one seems to mind. :)

My favourite bran muffins! I usually use apple juice instead of pineapple (only because pineapple is hard to find where I live), and I omit the raisins because I don't like them.

I was short on fruit juice, so I used half orange juice and half water. I also used half the amount of honey. Mine turned out just a tad on the dry side, but still great. I think this happened because I used freshly-ground wheat, which tends to thicken things up a bit. I used wheat bran instead of cereal, so maybe this also contributed to the thickness? I had fun adding things, such as apples, blueberries, and chocolate chips. So experiment a little! I also added some cinnamon, nutmeg, and allspice (amounts in that order), and drizzled them with honey while they were baking, as someone suggested. 17-18 minutes was the perfect baking time.

This delightful goodies taste are pretty much dessert for me when made with white flour. I usually half the recipe and it still makes a respectible amount. I also usually sustitute a cup of whole wheat flour for reg. flour to make it a little healthier. It's still good, but not as good when you do it with regular flour, esp if you want to eat them the next day, instead of straight-out-the-oven. I also use All-Bran cereal. Sometimes I also stick it in the freezer for a bit to speed of the process, but they are really much better if you just let me sit in the fridge for the designated amount of time.

I was looking for a recipe like the honey bran muffins that Coco's restaurant serves.(Love them) This was the closest one I found. But first, I cut the recipe in half,and I changed the 1 cup of pineapple juice to 1cup of pureed fruit cocktail, and 1TBL water. Also, only used 2 eggs, and the raisn bran cereal, I put in the food processor. After 10 minutes, I drizzled honey on top of each muffin. Plus, I didn't chill batter, used it right away. The muffins turned out very moist and DELICIOUS! Thank you for the recipe!
