Found this recipe on a box and have been making it for years! Great for bran or non-bran lovers...with or without raisins! I love with raisins...warming them up in the morning and spreading with some peanut butter! YUM!

How To Make oven-ready bran muffins

  • 1
    Preheat oven to 400 degrees. Put paper muffin cups into muffin tin.

  • 3
    Measure and combine flour, baking soda and salt.
  • 4
    In a separate bowl, mix together the sugar and butter. Add the moist bran, beaten eggs, remaining 2 cups of bran, and buttermilk; mix well.

    Hint...since some of us like raisins and some do not, at first I do not add raisins. I fill 12 muffin cups and then add 1 cup raisins to the remaining dough. Then fill the remainder of the cups.
