Bran muffins

Bran muffins that aren’t good for you but are delicious. Crispy top, very moist center.  Like the ones I used to eat almost daily.

Based on this recipe; site has ~no ads, definitely worth browsing more.

  • 1/2 cup butter, melted
  • 1/4 cup brown sugar
  • 1 egg
  • 1 cup sour cream (use less of this or less butter next time, maybe sub in some apple sauce or mashed banana?  moisture was perfect but muffins were too oily/heavy/rich.)
  • 1/4 cup molasses (use less next time)
  • 1 tsp baking soda
  • 1/4 tsp salt
  • 1/4 tsp cinnamon (use more next time)
  • 1 cup flour
  • 1 cup bran
  • 1/2 cup raisins (or any other mix-ins, this could support 1/2 cup each of 2 mix-ins I think)

Mix together the wet ingredients. Add all the dry ingredients.  Add the raisins.

Bake at 400 for 15 minutes, until a toothpick comes out clean.  Makes 12 normal-sized muffins.
