Try this Easy Bran Muffin Recipe

It is a great example of how one can take an old scratch recipe and turn it into a Baking Outside the Box Mix-up recipe.  I got the recipe off of a box of Kellog’s All Bran Cereal and then ‘translated’  it into a ‘Mix-up’  recipe using the Muffin Mix-up in under 30 seconds.

 You can learn this BOTB trick too.  It’s easy and will save you a ton of time.  Read about it here.

The easy bran muffin recipe is simple to whip up and is perfect when breakfast is  ‘grab-n-go’.  They hold together well for travel.  These puppies have accompanied us on business trips.

When I’m crammed for  kitchen time I make them the night before I need them or on the weekend. They will last for several days at room temperature and freeze well.  

Oh and did I mention they are tasty???  They are very good and your family never need know you are feeding them fiber. 🙂

A couple of advantages of making your own muffins are that there will be no temptation to stop at an over-priced hot beverage shop for an over-sized muffin that has regret as an ingredient.  You will also will save a ton of $$$$.  Shop muffins are pricey.

I love this old-fashioned  Easy Bran Muffin recipe that has been updated for speed.  If you’d like to read the original post with a couple tips and tricks for muffin baking, it’s here.  Enjoy!  Laura
