Can you use all bran flakes for this recipe, or does it have to be the bran buds?

These are excellent! The reviews are true!! The only modification I made was instead of the raisins, I folded in a banana or two that I chopped into small pieces. Delicious! Thanks Kree, for posting this recipe:)

These are moist & delicious. I added 2 T wheat germ, 3T cinnamon applesauce, 1 1/2 c blueberries, and 1 med banana diced small to the original recipe. So moist and perfect. Great breakfast muffins.

Very good! Used 1/2 whole wheat flour and 1/2 white flour and kept the rest of the recipe as-is. Tastes wonderful! Thanks!

Great Muffin! I added an extra egg, used half whole wheat flour, and added 1/4 cup white sugar. PERFECT!

This is a great bran muffin recipe! The flavor and texture are both wonderful. I had to do a few substitutions (oat bran, cranberries instead of raisins, vinegar-soured-milk instead of buttermilk) and they were still wonderful. The recipe seems very adaptable, and I plan on trying lots of variations! Thanks for posting this Kree.

I substituted the buttermilk for lactose free yogurt, applesauce instead of oil, sprinkled it with honey granola. Delicious

Used whole wheat flour (instead of all purpose flour), reduced the sugar to 1/2 cup using white sugar (instead of brown), and used unsweetened kefir (instead of buttermilk)

I used Splenda Brown sugar blend, increased the raisins to 3/4 cup and also increased the apple sauce to 1/2 cup.

I was looking for a new Bran Muffin recipe after not having made any for quite awhile and thought this one sounded good...and it was! I did change a few things...used applesauce instead of oil and cut the sugar to 1/2 cup, added 1 Tbsp of molasses because I like them in a bran muffin. I also used about 1/3 cup dates (as that was all I had) and they added a lovely sweetness. They were excellent!!! It only made 8 muffins though and I only used regular sized muffin trays. I think next time I will add a bit more molasses and less sugar, maybe 1/3 cup and about 1/2 cup dates. These are great!

Delicious and very easy to make. I used applesauce instead of oil and instead of the buttermilk I used low fat Greek yogurt. I also added a few tablespoons of chia seeds for their nutritional content. I was worried that the muffins wouldn't be sweet enough but they tasted great. I used pumpkin pie spice instead of just cinnamon. I may even try less sugar next time--and there will be a next time! Thanks for posting.

I'm a real estate agent in the lovely city of Rochester, New York. That's not what I expected to do with my life. I got my bachelor's in psychology, my masters in literacy education, and I taught high school special education for two years. Then I discovered that helping people find the homes of their dreams was my real passion. I've been doing it for over two years now and still absolutely love my career.Other than that, I have a very spoiled Border Collie mix named Bear that I adopted from a local shelter in spring '08. He's gorgeous and fun and brings me great joy. Now if only I could find a man like that... LOL!
