This was my first time making "non box" muffins. I enjoyed making them however they didnt come out as fluffy as most muffins I buy in the stores? I will try and let the batter sit a few more days to see if the bran gets broken down more and they become more fluffy.

Wow these were great! I made a few changes: I used whole wheat flour instead of regular. I also substitued 1/2 cup unsweetened applesauce for the oil. I cut the honey down to 1/4 cup. And I used eggbeaters as previously suggested! I used All-Bran cereal. And I did use pineapple juice because I happened to have some on hand - I love what pinapple juice does for these muffins! Just great! I made half the muffins after the batter chilled for 3 hours and only had to bake them 15 minutes before they were done. I will make the rest of them tomorrow and see if they can possibly be any better(I doubt it)!

This recipe is great. I followed the recipe with a few substitutes. I used apple juice instead of pineapple juice, whole wheat flour instead of allpurpose and I used Raisin Bran Cereal. With the cereal, I separated the raisin from the bran flakes then followed the recipe accordingly. These are great in the jumbo muffin pans. When I took them out of the oven to cool I smothered the tops with honey. In the morning at room temp they were nicely moist with honey. Great with a cup of joe.

I baked these again, using a bit of lemon juice + water (did not have enough pineapple juice). They were flat the first time, so I increased the baking soda by 1.5, let the bran mix sit overnight, and beat in the flour + soda immediately before baking. This time they were moist AND tall & fluffy. Very forgiving recipe; don't worry about overbeating/overcooking, the gluten won't overdevelop thanks to the bran and the muffins don't get overcooked easily. Honey really goes well with bran, and the sour juice 'lightened' the taste up and gave a nice flavour.

These were wonderful. I was dubious when I mixed them up because the batter looked too thin, but it was perfect after the night in the fridge. I used apple juice instead of pineapple and the taste was great.

This is a keeper. I had to make a few changes based on what I had on hand. I used apple cider instead of the pineapple juice and i used stone ground whole wheat flour instead of all purpose. After I let the mixture sit for the required 3 hours i had to add more apple cider because th ewhole wheat flour is more dense. These turned out with just the right moistness and flavour. i made jumbo muffins and the recipe yielded 20 muffins. Thanks for a great recipe!

This is the best Bran Muffin recipe I've found so far. I favor apple juice, little or no raisins and the muffins are moist. A++

Very good! They have a tendency to be a tad crumbly whenever I make them. But the taste is wonderful!

Best bran muffins I have ever tasted. I cut the recipe in half and made tiny muffins for bite size snacks and they turned out wonderful. I also added some wheat germ and cinnamon to taste. Mmmm thanks for sharing this wonderful recipe, is definitely a keeper!

following another review, I added 30oz of crushed pineapple instead of the pineapple juice. I also substituted eggbeaters for the eggs, to cut down on the fat. I thought these were awesome and very moist!

These are really good and the recipe is very forgiving w/ substitutions! I used orange juice instead of pineapple juice. Also try with mixture of craisins, raisins, walnuts & dried apple. Have also added 1 pouch of Quaker flavored oatmeal supreme when I fell a bit short on the bran cereal (I generally use crushed Total Raisin Bran because we eat as cereal). Very moist muffins!!!

these are sooooo good! I made only half the recipe as it made 14 regular size muffins and also used Post Raisin Bran cereal instead of whole bran cereal and cut the raisins to 1/2 cup. They are delicious and will be making them often.

THIS RECIPE IS AMAZING. I added 1 cup of chunky applesauce and it was even better!! It is also perfectly fine to use water instead of pinapple juice (it does make the muffins less sweet). What else.....I like to add about 1/4 cup of Splenda to sweeten them up as well. ENJOY!! One last note, do not freeze the batter, it does not cook the muffins well afterwards. Instead, you can freeze the muffins and they stay well for a long time.

These are very moist for bran muffins,The family loved them and I liked that you make them the night before and refridgerate overnight, so that when I get up in the morning, give the batter a quick stir, and its ready to cook.
