Can you share a great recipe for bran muffins?

I’ve made several of these muffin recipes in the past and they’ve all been delicious! I wonder if you’ve ever tried any lower calorie, protein muffins before? I’m trying to incorporate protein powder into lower calorie recipes lately. ☀️☀️☀️

This may be an older post, but I don’t mind! I love it and my printer is very busy copying almost every recipe since several look better than what I already have. 😉
I am now set for each season. Thank you!

I think I’ll go with Honey Muffins because I am a fan of honey lately. I read how honey is a better and sweeter alternative to processed sugar, so I’m basically on a honey overdose. I have made honey muffins before and I have succeeded, so maybe that’s why I choose that one. I tried making choco chip muffins once but somehow the chips got all liquidish and not semisolid. I baked them for a little longer, I guess. Anyways, I vote for honey muffins.

I made the banana muffins – you are right! They are the best I have ever had! Thank you for the recipes. I will be trying more of them, guaranteed! It’s hard to make a nice moist muffin . . .and this was perfect!

Who doesn’t love muffins? they’re perfectly portioned packages of goodness. I love a good cranberry orange muffin, but now I want the allspice crumb muffin commenters are speaking of and don’t see it on the list! I’m going searching for it right now on BEB!

Elisabeth Lipsman — January 24, 2017 @ 1:59 pm Reply

I made the Pumpkin Cream Cheese Streusel Muffins and they were unbelievably good! That cream cheese center perfectly complements the gently spiced muffin surrounding it. The crunch and sweetness of the streusel sends it off the charts! Good thing you called it a muffin, because I wouldn’t have made it for brunch if it had been a cupcake . . . Muffin beauty! It’s just this side of a dessert! FABULOUS!

I have an older recipe for a Chocolate Pumpkin Muffin s that I love. They have dark chocolate in them . Yum! Love corn muffins!

Thank you for easy and tasty muffins recipe! Yesterday I baked your muffins for Birthday Party and got millions compliments :) My muffins have sophisticated look without any decorations only I used brown tulip baking liners

Muffins are the best choice to stuff. Trying it with different ingredients will make difference in taste and it would be the healthy snacks.

Try lemon poppyseed with lime glaze. The best ever!!!

I am making my first recipe from your website today.

I love muffins! Totally just an excuse to eat a tiny, tiny cake for breakfast! I love the look of Morning Glory Muffins – anything carrot cake-y certainly has my attention :)
I make Mocha Banana Muffins and I love them because it’s chocolate and fruit for breakfast – it’s all about balance ;)

oh i could DEFINITELY go for a couple of these right now:)

Hmmm I don’t see any replies from Michelle! I wonder if its baby time!?!

I’m a fan of this Mark Bittman bran muffin recipe that is a bit lighter than the typical one because you whip the egg white:

Your banana muffins put me in the mood for muffins and now this. I really need one of those blueberry ones.

To me, muffins are meant to be healthy…this goes back to their origins. I love a good oatmeal or bran muffin but don’t underatand chocolate muffins…they seem more like a cupcake to me. And I prefer the texture of those made with butter rather than oil.

Yes! Finally something about boom Beach hack.

my favourite muffin mix would be my marshmallow muffin mix (that doesn’t taste like marshmallows)
15-17 marshmallows (put in mix and melted for 1.30/2 mins until they can be mixed into a non lumpy mix)
175g – ( preferably caster) sugar
175g – margarine (melted in a microwave and mixed in)
325/350g – self raising flour
1tsp – cinnamon
1tsp – vanilla
3x – large eggs
pinch – salt
175ml – milk

1) mix all gradually into a bowl (try to melt the marshmallows in to the mix in the early stages)
2) put in muffin pouches and put in oven set to standard 180 degrees Celsius
3) leave for 10-15 mins until the muffins when stabbed with a knife, the knife is clean.
4) enjoy your muffins :)

Nice!!! I think I like the savory one the most:)

I want that double chocolate one up there a.s.a.p.! Beautiful!

Lisa @ Tarte du Jour — July 20, 2011 @ 9:13 am Reply

The pumpkin cream cheese muffins get my vote! They all look fabulous, however!

By looks, I’m going for the pepper muffins only because savory sounds delicious. They all look great!

These look amazing! I want to try them all! Especially those allspice muffins :D

I haven’t made any muffins for a long long time and your top 10 just inspired me. I wil have to make some muffins soon, very soon.

what a great Top 10! I just made some hominy muffins last night (I know, who does that?!), but they’re actually surprising delicious!

The Undercover Cook — July 18, 2011 @ 9:34 pm Reply

I agree with you that muffins are like dessert for breakfast. It is a lovely way to start the day. You have some great variations! I think I am going to have to start with the coffeecake muffins.

Mikaela Cowles — July 18, 2011 @ 5:34 pm Reply

Here’s my problem with your list – How do I pick which one’s to make? It’s like deciding what to get at a really good bakery. I don’t know about you, but I end up eating WAY more than I should. Probably not a bad thing. Thanks for all the wonderful ideas.

Too hot to bake here, I’d die or risk burning our air con out I fear but they were fun to look at.

RavieNomNoms — July 18, 2011 @ 4:27 pm Reply

Thanks for this post! I do love myself a good muffin from time to time I will say that much! Blueberry is probably by far my most favorite. Boring I know, but I just cannot seem to get enough of them!

Crystal Bullseye — July 18, 2011 @ 4:21 pm Reply

My favorite muffins are chocolate – triple if possible! Also, I’m a fan of all muffins that create little or no crumb mess when eaten.

My favorite muffins are Cranberry Orange, but then I saw your pumpkin one’s!! OMG! They look awesome, but so do all that appear on the top 10! I agree about loving a good crumb topping! I’m eating a salad right now, but now I want something sweet!!!

Amazing top ten. Such vast variety. I want them all! xo

All of them look amazing! Especially the blueberry! LOVE blueberry!
I really enjoy your roundups!

These look incredible! I’m always amazed at your creativity…that and the fact that you can narrow it down to 10!

Wow! Each and every one of these recipes and pictures looks amazingly delicious. I previously sent my Aunt a link to your site and she spoke a lot about how great your blueberrie muffins looked….I’m certain she will be looking at them again today!

I love baking muffins! I just recently baked a batch of banana nut muffins. They’re a hit at my house. Thanks for all the new recipe suggestions. I’m sure I will be busy baking up some new and delicious muffins in the coming days!

Okay, just bookmarked this entire page. I guess I know what I’ll be baking for the next few weeks!

I am basically obsessed with making muffins, partly because my husband INHALES them! He would rather have muffins that dessert so I am always trying new recipes. I will have to try some of these – esp. the pumpkin cream cheese with pecan streusel! Here’s a list of some of my favorite muffin recipes: http://sherrilynnpuz.blogspot.com/p/recipes_22.html

Lisa @ Sunny Seed Stories — July 18, 2011 @ 8:50 am Reply

Um, is all of these an acceptable response?? I have a lot of bookmarking to do…but those Pumpkin & Cream Cheese muffins are calling to me. (My tastes are so in-season, ha!)

Awesome list! I had a REALLY hard time getting past the Allspice Crumb, but finally managed to and saw so many more delicious things on the list. Thanks for the top 10, Michelle!

I love your Top 10 lists so much!!!!

Barbara — July 18, 2011 @ 8:17 am Reply

these look delicious but what about my peach cornmeal muffins???? they are fantastic!

these all sound so amazing but i have to say blueberry is still my fave! can’t get enough of it :)

Those allspice crumb muffins are calling my name!

(and it doesn’t help that I just HAPPEN to have all the ingredients on hand…)

Hi! I just wanted to let you know how much I enjoy reading your blog. I only just discovered it very recently whilst browsing on Foodbuzz and I am totally hooked! I cannot wait to try some of your recipes! It is difficult to find a pumpkin recipe that looks both do-able and delicious, I am excited to give the muffins a try. Thank you so much for keeping up this lovely blog! I look forward to continuing to read in the future.
