What til You Try These No-Fail Bran Muffins

These easy recipe for bran muffins without buttermilk result in a delicious bakery style muffin with just the perfect amount of sweetness!

Before I took my first class towards earning my Baker’s Certificate, bran muffins were not on my “must bake” list!

Every Sunday afternoon my family would be waiting, mouths watering, wondering what I would be baking and bringing home from class.  To say they were not impressed when they found bran muffins among my goodies one day, is an understatement.

I told them they didn’t know what they were missing. In fact, they are one of the best muffins I have ever had!

Not wanting to disappoint me, they reluctantly gave them a try.

Suffice it to say, they were gone in a flash!

I can pretty much make them without even looking at the recipe now.  These bran muffins are made with no buttermilk, which is a bonus. I can make them whenever with ingredients I always have in my pantry.

With only a half cup of sugar in the whole recipe, eggs, natural bran, whole wheat flour and plump raisins, these muffins make a great grab and go breakfast.

Warmed with a little butter….how my goodness….mouthwatering!

I never fail to get nice high “bakery shop” style muffins.  The key is to fill each muffin cup to the top!

Oh, and did I mention? You only need one mixing bowl! Easy clean up for the win!

Helpful tips when making easy bran muffins without buttermilk:

• spray the muffin tins with non-stick spray making sure you spray the areas between each cup, as these will rise up over the edge of each one
• soak the raisins in hot water for 10 minutes, and drain before adding to the recipe to plump them up
• do not over mix the batter to avoid a tough texture to the finished muffins
• double the recipe and freeze, pop one out of the freezer each morning to add to lunches

Making these bran muffins was a nice change to the rich pies and pastries we had been making in class.

And, my family quickly learned to never turn up their nose at anything I brought home again!
