If you substitute any whole wheat flour in the mix you may have to add more liquid. You can use a little milk, cream or orange juice. They look really pretty if you top with a few rolled oats and brown sugar.

I added raisins, walnuts, cinnamon, and vanilla. The batter seemed too thick so I added 4 more ounces of applesauce. I didn't have oat bran on hand but I did have wheat bran so I used that. I baked mine about 20 minutes. Turned out great. Thanks for the recipe!

I've made these going by the original recipe and they were very good. I've also added 1c raisins, 1c mashed banana, 1/2 c chopped walnuts, 1 teaspoon each of cinnamon and vanilla and 1/2 cup grated carrot and substituted wheat flour. My husband loves these and now I make a couple of batches every week.

This is a keeper! I added 1/3 cup milk, 2 teaspoons cinnamon, 6 oz butterscotch chips. They were awesome. You could also add bananas instead of the applesauce and mini chocolate chips. YUM!

We used apple butter instead of applesauce and it worked out well. This is a pretty versatile recipe and can be used with pumpkin or banannas too. Thanks!

Love these, but I must admit I add other things, like applesauce, dried cranberries and toasted sliced almonds. It's a great recipe for a basic bran muffin that lets you add a little creativity without any harm.

Very good. I replace part of the applesauce with butter, not as healthy but we like the flavor. Also dried cranberries make this really yummy

FANTASTIC! Healthful, easy, and delicious! I got about 36 mini muffins out of this batter. I also added cinnamon, vanilla and dried cranberries. I'm going to try it with chopped dried apricots, too. Great with coffee!

I was a bit concerned when the "batter" had the same consistency as drop-cookie dough--I thought the muffins would be too dry. But they were fabulous! During the ten-minute resting time I made some streusel out of brown sugar, cinnamon, rolled oats, and a little butter. Sprinkle some on top and you've got a slightly sweeter muffin with a great crunchy crust!

VERY tasty! The only changes I made: added a mashed banana and a little cinnamon and nutmeg. I also put a dallop of cream cheese on top of the muffins before baking. Yum!

MMMM, so yummy! A very hearty muffin. Cut both baking powder/soda down to 1tsp each, added 1 tsp cinnamon, only used one egg and also subbed some whole wheat flour for some of the white. I also added some soaked raisins cuz I love them and my batch made 14 muffins. Baked at 375 for about 15mins. Will definitely make these again, thanks!

Very yummy. I'm one of those people that has a hard time following recipes due to either not having the ingredients or feeling a creative need to change things up a bit. My tweaking included half applesauce and half yougart. Spelt flour instead or regular. I didn't have enough oat bran so I ground up bran buds and used those as well. I added craisins, blueberries and chocolate chips as well. It came out well, except that most of the muffins broke as I took them out of the pan. Either way, they taste great.

Great recipe! I followed another's advice and only added one egg, and put in 1/2 c vanilla yogurt. I also added 1t vanilla, a sprinkle of cinnamon, and cut the baking soda and powder down to 1t each. It made more than 12 muffins though, so I'm saving the rest for another day this week. I hope they turn out well.

These were okay...I didn't read the other reviews ahead of time. If I had I would have reduced the baking soda and powder by half...you could taste it in the muffins and it leaves a funny after taste. This were quick and easy...will try them again with adjustments.
