These were not bad. They are fluffy and moist on the inside, but they were a bit bland. Twenty minutes was far too long to cook them, unless you use cupcake cups. I added buttermilk and extra sugar to to my second batch to make these a little tastier

I make these often for my family. The only thing I change is I use a diced apple in place of the raisins and apple juice in place of the pineapple juice. This is only because I usually have those on hand more often. These turn out great every time. The batter really doesn't look like it will turn out right when you first make them, but don't worry it does thicken up and bake wonderfully after refrigerating all night.

These are about the best bran muffins I have ever had. I used orange juice and dates. Wow.

I have made these muffins many times. I don't care for raisins, but I love chopped dates in cereal, so I use them instead of the raisins in this recipe. These are the best-tasting bran muffins I have ever eaten.

These are the best bran muffins I've ever made! I make them as mini-muffins, freeze them and take them out for breakfast as needed. I tried the recipe as written with the pineapple juice and golden raisins but I like it better with orange juice and regular dark raisins plus the zest of one orange. I also like to use half wheat flour and half regular flour. For the bran I use All Bran cereal but be sure to buy the original shreds, they work best in this recipe.

Good Recipe, though it may be a bit sweet for some people. I greased the muffins tins well, but they muffins would not come out in one piece, the tops broke off. Next time I will line the muffin tins instead.

Great Recipe! Easy to make. Kids love it, they have no idea it's good for them. I make a batch and freeze them then pop them in the microwave for a quick breakfast on busy mornings.

I loved them, my mother-in-law loved them, my baby loved them but my 4 year old did not. I loved the pineapple flavoring that took hold of the bran and made the raisins plump up. Very moist and I will make again and am sharing this recipe with my mother in law.
