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

  • Step 1
    Preheat oven to 400 degrees. Put paper muffin cups into muffin tin.
  • Step 2
    Mix 1 cup bran with 1 cup boiling water; stir and let water asborb into bran.
  • Step 3
    Measure and combine flour, baking soda and salt.
  • Step 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.
  • Step 5
    Add the flour, soda and salt mixture; stir until well blended. Stir in the raisins, if desired.
  • Step 6
    Spoon into the prepared muffin tins...I use my ice cream scoop! Bake for 15 minutes.
  • Step 7
    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.
