We LOVE this recipe. We use a doubled version of this recipe and make it at least once a week, and freeze them, leaving out 4-6 to eat immediately :) Then each day, we take a few out. They defrost on their own in probably 1/2 hour or so, but 20 second in the microwave makes it even faster. In any case, they taste fresh baked. We also like to add 1 cup of chopped walnuts (not too finely chopped) and recently my wife has taken to adding 1 1/2 cups of raisins. Another variation is that we have taken to greasing a cookie sheet and putting a tablespoon glob and making big "cookies" out of them, and they actually are more convenient to eat. I can't say enough good things about this recipe. It's just the best. Well worth the effort, especially if you're like me, and just like the idea of having a good tasting source of roughage in your diet. And they are so easy to eat on the go.

These muffins are very moist, but didn't have a lot of flavour. However...knowing that bran is not exactly chocolate chip muffins...it puts it in perspective:-) I did not change the recipe itself. But I served these with cinnamon sugar and lite butter, which really livens them up. Thank you!

My new favorite muffin recipe. I did make a few changes while making them though. Instead of 1 1/2 cups of oat bran, I only added 1 cup (because I ran out oat bran) and I was very generous with the apple sauce. I also added 1 tblsp of cinnamon. They were very moist and sooo good

Simple and healthy, not overloaded with refined ingredients and fat. I sprinkled a coat of cinnamon and fresh ground sea salt over the top of the muffins before baking for extra flavor. A keeper. Thanks Bron!

These are pretty good. I used light brown sugar because I didn't have dark brown and I used cinnamon applesauce. I also added 1 tsp cinnamon, 1/2 tsp nutmeg, and 1/8 tsp cloves. They smelled delicious and tasted good too.

I thought these were great. I added cinnamon and walnuts and a little extra applesauce. Most bran muffins are dry and flat. These were delicious.

This didn't go over well with my family. Kind of boring, even with the addition of cinnamon.

I loved these muffins and so did my one year old who is very picky when it comes to food. I made these with homemade applesauce and added 1 tsp. cinammon as suggested.

I liked the muffins. I added a cup of graded carrots, a cup of walnuts and a handful of crystallized ginger. They are not the sweetest muffins, but still good.

I was looking for a match for my favourite coffee-shop oatbran apple muffins... These weren't it. I added cinnamon and diced apples to this recipe, then sprinkled cinnamon sugar on top before baking, but I found these weren't moist enough and weren't very flavourful, even with the addition of cinnamon. I might try these again, but I'll tweak the recipe a bit more to get them the way I want them.

This recipe is wonderful and I normally hate bran muffins. I did make a few changes though to suit my tastes. I used oat flour instead of white flour; maple syrup instead of brown sugar; half the oil (olive); 3/4 cup applesauce; added 1/2C raisins and walnuts; and added 1TBSP of cinnamon. My sister loved them and has already had three!

These muffins were tasty, but I change a few things to get them the way I wanted. I increased this recipe by 50% but still made 12 muffins: just regular sized. I also used 1/4 tsp. cinammon to the mix, as well as only 1/3 the oil and 1 cup low fat vanilla yogurt with 1/4 cup applesauce for the liquid. This made them very moist. Finally, I added the raisins and also the cinammon sugar as the author suggested, and they were delicious. I might addd a little more brown sugar than the recipe calls for. They were not very time consuming and baked quickly.

This is a great recipe. I added raisins and used Eggbeaters to reduce the cholestrol content. Worked great!

Really good, but a little dry. The second try, I made them with homemade applesauce; it really picked up the flavor.

This is a great recipe. With the applesauce added, it's not necessary to use as much oil as indicated. I only used 1 tablespoon of oil, and they turned out great. Also, I couldn't find oat bran, so I used Kellogg's All-Bran cereal (which is wheat bran) instead, which worked fine.

These were really good. I threw my other recipe out. My husband has to watch his fat intake real close, so I halved the oil and used egg beaters. I also used cinnamon in the muffins as well as plumped up raisins and sprinkled sugar and cinnamon mixture on top. My other recipe called for all oat bran. I think some flour helps with the texture as well as taste. I use bread flour, it contains more gluten than regular flour, so it gives a better rise. I'll be making these all the time now. Thanks for the recipe Bron!
