Sometimes I wonder if people age into bran muffins or maybe they’re just more popular among the older set. I ate a lot of bran muffins during my university days because they were filling. I happen to love bran muffins and have a couple of other favourite recipes you might enjoy: Blueberry Bran Muffins and Buttermilk Bran Muffins.

A few tips for low fat bran muffins:

• The batter thickens quickly once you add the liquid mixture. That’s okay.
• Raisins are optional (dried currants are good too).
• This recipe works with molasses, maple syrup or honey, or a combination of natural sweeteners.
• The original recipe called for a little wheat germ but you can substitute ground flax.

This is an old recipe of my mom’s. She clipped it out of a magazine back in the 1960’s and she still makes them often (regularly, you might say). This is a coarse textured muffin and not too sweet.
