The Real Bran Muffins

A nice bran muffin recipe that's not sweet. I halved the recipe to get 6 muffins and I too used less salt and omitted the raisins to save calories. They come to 2 WW points each. Thanks!

I made a batch of these muffins and had one with my afternoon coffee. I liked the fact that despite the lack of oil, it did not have a rubbery texture. I used about half a cup of raisins and these made a batch of 12 perfectly sized muffins. Next time I will try to replace some of the flour with whole wheat flour. Update- I had one after they had sat out for a while and the molasses taste was way too strong for our liking. I used dark molasses, maybe the lighter variety would give it a better flavour. I don't mind it too much but my husband who normally eats everything stopped eating his muffin after about two bites. Sorry for the bad review. If you like the taste of molasses, then this recipe is for you. If you don't, then I would find one that sweetens with brown sugar or maybe replace half the molasses with brown sugar in this recipe.

A fabulously easy and healthy bran muffin. I found the full tsp of salt made it too salty for my liking, and my next batch will reduce that amount to 1/4 tsp. I also plan to add cinnamon, nutmeg and clove, as I love a certain spiciness with my raisins. Thanks so much, this is a keeper!

We love high fiber muffins. These are excellent and so easy to put together. I reduced the raisins to 1/2 cup and plumped them by pouring about 1/2 cup boiling water over them in a bowl. I allowed them to sit while preparing the other ingredients and right before adding to the batter I drained them. I look forward to preparing more of your recipes.
