Loved the texture but found the flavour a bit bland. A cup of fruit or something will probably help. I'll read the rest of the reviews, and try some experiments! Definitely worth making again, just with some additional ingredietns.

Very good recipe. However, I followed past reviewers advice to change it a bit. I used 1.5 cups whole wheat flour (no bleached flour), 1.5 cups applesauce, .5 cups splenda, reduced brown sugar to .25 cups, added 2 tsp cinammon, 1 tsp vanilla, 5 tablespoons veg oil and 1.5 cups of chopped granny smith apples. They came out moist, not too dense and very tasty. My family likes cinammon, so I think I may add another tsp next time.

Very tasty and healthy! I used homemade applesauce, added a couple TBSP of wheat germ, subbed 1/2 c flour with whole wheat flour, added just a touch of apple cider, and sprinkled cinnamon sugar on top before baking.

I used fructose instead of brown sugar, as I've been trying to find an oat bran muffin that is still good for me, and good too. This one does the trick. I of course added cinnamon and some golden raisins soaked in apple juice with a cinnamon stick (they don't steal the moisture from the muffin that way I believe) to make it more to my taste, and they were absolutely wonderful. A muffin I can have any day of the week without guilt. Thanks!

I've made these several times and they always come out good. I usually substitute wheat flour for at least half of the all-purpose flour. To enhance the flavor I add 1 tsp cinnamon and vanilla. I've also substituted yogurt for the applesauce with good results.

The first time I made these muffins I thought they were too salty and a bit dry. The second time I made them I reduced the baking soda and baking powder to 1 teaspoon each, increased the oil to 1/3 of a cup and added a cup of blueberries. Turned out perfect. It is VERY important to let the ingredients sit for at least 10 minutes to allow the oat bran to soften.

THIS is the oat bran recipe I've been looking for. I've tried others but just couldn't get the taste & consistency I wanted (I tend to be picky :-)!) I took the advice of a previous reviewer & used whole wheat flour & 1 1/2 cups + 2 tbsp applesauce. Since my applesauce is unsweetened, I added 1/2 cup Splenda. I also added 2 tsp cinn & 1 tsp vanilla. Baked up nice & moist. Since I like oats but I'm not a HUGE fan, I cut the oat bran down to 1/2 cup. This allowed for the flavor to come through but not dominate too much. Even my husband thought they were good. Thank you so much!

I should have obeyed the warnings! These are very bland! It is true that a little jam will sweeten them up, but I didn't eat them. I topped them with sugar knowing the batter was not sweet, but it still wasn't enough. Too boring even for a bran muffin.

I made a half-batch of these muffins, and they turned out delicious. I used applesauce that was pre-seasoned with cinnamon, added a half-teaspoon of ground cinnamon to the flour mixture, and added about a tablespoon of honey to the wet ingredients. Baked at 400 degrees for 13 minutes... Wonderful.

I've been looking for a way to make bran muffins with oat bran (I'm supposed to avoid wheat as an O blood type). The recipe was great. I substituted spelt flour for the all purpose flour, added 1 tsp cinnamon and 1 cup raisins, and olive oil for vegetable oil. Had to cook it for 25 minutes to make 6 Jumbo muffins. Great recipe!

I love this recipe. I have made the following modifications. I used whole wheat flour instead, 1.5 cup of applesauce, 2 tablespoons of oil, 1/2 cup of chocolate chips, and 1/2 teaspoon of vanilla extract.

This is all right as a basic recipe, but I feel it could have used a bit of spice (cinnamon, etc.). Make sure you use sweetened applesauce -- it makes a big difference.

yum! I made these with the hope of getting my 20 month old to get more fiber. They are delicious. I added about a teaspoon of ground ginger & a teaspoon of cinn. to the flour mix. I used 1 cup unbleached white flour & 1/4 c. wheat gluten flour (to get extra rise per a previous reviewers suggestion) and a 1/4 c. wheat germ ('cause we love wheat germ). Instead of veg. oil I used two exta TBL applesauce & 2 TBL olive oil to increase nutrional value. The applesauce I had in the fridge was raspberry/applesause and worked quite well. I made a dozen in the mini-muffin tin (for the toddler) and still got ten regular-sized muffins.

This is one of my family's favorite muffin recipes! I also add cinnamon (1+teaspoons), and have made them with equal success with light and dark brown sugar. They are positively wonderful with strawberry preserves!

Dear Bron, Your bran muffins were quite tasty! My boyfriend has digestive issues, and these really seem to help "get things moving." We found the recipe a bit too sweet, and would add less sugar and more applesauce for extra moisture. Also, Eric doesn't like nuts, so I add chopped pecans to the mix after pouring most of the muffins into the pan. We enjoyed these so much! Thanks again, Bron. Sincerely, Mimi
