I have only had bran muffins once in my life, and I was rather young when I had it...I hated them. A lot. Recently though, I've been wanting to eat a bit healthier so I thought I would give them another try. I omitted the raisins (I'm not fond of raisins in my baking) but other than that I followed the recipe exactly. The recipe was easy to follow, easy to make, and I was very surprised by how much I love these! To me they were definitely a banana muffin, which for me is great since I love banana muffins. I will definitely be making these again. Thanks for the great recipe!

Wow-took some feedback and used 2 bananas and left out the apple. Tested a few w/ mini chocolate chips (and dried cherries and pecans-waiting to eat those.) Definitely better w/ the chocolate chips. Did add 1/2 tsp. vanilla and 1/2 tsp. baking powder. Outstanding!

Fantastic recipe. I was worried because the batter was quite sweet, but once cooked these muffins had a very mildly sweet, hearty taste. I ended up making 6 giant muffins instead of 12 regular size because it's the only pan I had, and just half muffin filled me up! This is definitely going to be come a regular breakfast/snack item in my house.

Best muffins I've ever made. I didn't have raisins so I substituted pecans.

Tried these today for the first time. I had a box of All-Bran cereal that nobody in the house was eating, so I had to get rid of it! I followed the recipe as is, except I left out the raisins, because we don't care for them in things. I didn't have a banana, so I grated 2 small gala apples. Batter seemed really thick, so I added a small container of vanilla yogurt. They turned out pretty moist. Not sure if the kids will like them, they do have a pretty "strong" bran flavor. I thought of adding chocolate chips, but with just apple, no banana, I wasn't sure it would taste good. I will probably use this recipe again just to use up the rest of the cereal.

I usually hate it when people rate a modified recipe, but this was so darned good, I'm breaking my own rule. I substituted white flour instead of whole wheat, used 2 tbls of oil instead of melted butter, added 1/2 tsp baking powder and used 2 bananas instead of the banana and apple. Definitely a keeper recipe!

really good bran muffin recipe. I chopped the apples instead of shredding ... the apple chunks where really yummy. Also, used brown sugar instead of honey since I didn't have any. My 5-year-old says they are "awesome"! Will definitely use this recipe again. Thanks!

These are excellent. I, too, didn't heat the raisins in the microwave just added them to the milk mixture. Instead of using melted butter, I cut the fat by using apple sauce. Apples were chopped small as it was easier instead of shredding. Anything I did was minor changes, the muffins were awesome.
