Really good bran muffin recipes?

My grandmother made bran muffins that were great. She'd make the mix and it had to sit a day before baking them, I remember it called for a whole box of bran flakes cereal, flour, raisins, sugar....that's all I remember, but it made a lot.

These are so delicious, and no one ever suspects that they are ';bran'; muffins (which I personally love, but not everyone does). I have made adjustments over the years (which are noted after the ingredient), but they are delicious as is. Have made them twice a week or more for several years ~ they are expected for breakfast, as well as an after school snack. I wish I could remember the source, but believe it was probably Recipezaar.com.








BLUEBERRY BRAN MUFFINS





Yields: 12 large muffins





2 eggs


1 cup 1% low-fat milk (I use 2%)


1/2 cup canola oil (I use 1/4 cup vegetable oil %26amp; 1/4 cup applesauce)


1/4 cup molasses


3/4 cup packed brown sugar (I reduce to 1/2 cup)


1/2 teaspoon vanilla extract


1-1/2 cups wheat bran (I use bran flakes)


1-1/2 cups all-purpose flour


2 teaspoons baking powder


3/4 teaspoon salt


1/2 teaspoon baking soda


1 cup Blueberries, frozen, thawed, or fresh (can substitute w/ raisins, mixed berries, chocolate chips, nuts, etc., or combination)





Preheat oven to 400F; prepare muffin pans by lining cups with paper muffin liners (I don't use paper liners, but lightly grease muffin tins). In a large bowl beat together eggs, milk, oil, molasses, sugar and vanilla. Stir in bran; let stand for 5 minutes.





In a small mixing bowl, combine flour, baking powder, salt and baking soda; add to egg mixture, stirring just until combined. Carefully stir in blueberries (or your choice), being careful not to overmix. Spoon into paper-lined muffin cups, filling right to the top.





Bake in preheated oven for approximately 20 minutes (mine go 25 minutes), or until muffins are firm to the touch; do not overbake or muffins will be dry and tough. Remove muffins from pan and cool on rack.
there is no such thing as tasty bran muffins. maybe they were wheat muffins...I can't stand bran!
