The Devil and Her Bran Muffins

---

Love to you and Cookie! Many happy long summer days to you. Hope you have a great Fourth of July! I can eat two of these in one sitting and not feel guilty about it. I completely understand your sentiment here Kate. I want my friends and family to know that they have my full attention! Living slow is definitely restorative and de-cluttering for the mind. As for these gorgeous bran muffins? I love the look of that nourishing, wholegrain crumb, studded with sweet blueberries. Ah, that little monkey always puts a smile on my face.

Thanks for sharing these honest thoughts with us Kate, I appreciate and value it hugely xx. Sounds like you have a great system in place.

I want to give my friends my full attention! Love the puppy picture…I am forever trying to catch funny moments with my dog too! These look really good, especially for breakfast!

Would love to enjoy one with my regular cup of coffee. One question I always want to learn something new: Do baked goods that have been sweetened with honey need to be baked in lower temperatures? Yes, honey browns fairly quickly at degrees Fahrenheit and above. Making these muffins today! Love the picture of Cookie! What kind of dog is she?

Looks like she might have some blue healer in her? I hope your muffins turned out marvelously! These look great as always. I recently tested and made some blueberry oatmeal muffins. Will definitely have to try these out. Looks like Cookie was helping you out! And then I occasionally feel guilty about it, but whatever. Totally wishing I had muffins on my counter waiting for me to consume for breakfast!!

Love those bursts of blueberry juiciness throughout. Just baked these muffins last night. They are delicious and so moist. I love all your recipes. You are an inspiration!!! And love all the pictures of Cookie. Definitely puts a smile on my face. Thank you for commenting. I just made a nectarine oatbran version of these muffins and really enjoyed them! I love your recipes!

Buttermilk Bran Muffins

I was wondering if it would be okay to post my nectarine oatbran version on my blog. I kept most of the ingredients the same, but used a higher flour to bran ratio and used oatbran instead of wheatbran. I will credit you as my source and rewrite the recipe in my own words. As a new blogger, I just want to make sure I use correct blogging etiquette! Is ground flaxseed meal a good substitute to make up for the missing wheat bran or would it work if I just used more whole wheat flour to make up for it? I am on the no-refined sugar band wagon, but have been craving some sort of baked good!

This fit the bill. Both substitutions worked well. These muffins were excellent! I made one change and added about a tablespoon of butter to the coconut oil, but not sure if it was necessary. The second time I forgot the turbinado sugar. I missed the crunch, but they were still very good!

Blueberry Honey Bran Muffins - Cookie and Kate

Thanks for the recipe! I couldnt find wheat bran at the store so I got oat bran, is that ok to use, or do i need to change something in the recipe? I made these delicious muffins for breakfast this morning on a cold, but sunny, Wisconsin morning. I used sunflower oil which is organic and locally sourced from our CSA farm.

The only other change I made was to use orange zest instead of lemon—no lemons in the house. I was amazed at how light they are considering all the bran.

I made these today and had to read your blog again to see if I made a mistake. Then I saw the comment about how bran muffins will never win a beauty contest and that made me laugh. The muffins turned out okay as far as bran muffins are concerned. They were quite crumbly though. I did make one mistake though.

Would that have caused that? The other thing is, I used whole wheat pastry flour. Would you recommend that for your muffin recipes? A few things that have helped me: I heat the buttermilk up in the microwave until it is just barely warm. This solves the coconut oil clumping problem. I also use cupcake papers because mine always stick to the tin no matter how well I grease it. I make a batch and freeze them. My other tip I just discovered on accident when I forgot the turbine sugar.

Thank you for suggestion.

After making a bunch of the other muffins from this website with either spelt flour or whole wheat pastry flour it was probably the mistake that I made with the coconut oil that caused the muffins to be crumbly. Every other recipe I have tried where I have properly melted the coconut oil has turned out perfectly. I will be making these again for sure. These muffins are delicious! Plenty sweet, moist and light.

Will definitely make again. Truly love many of your recipes including those for baked goods and pancakes! However I have found recently that many of the muffin and pancake recipes call for more baking soda or baking powder then I would typically use. Deep breath in… ahh, yes, the house smells of fresh baked goods. Deep sigh out… ahhh, yes… I have not ruined my diet on the first day of the week.

This first recipe was passed along by one of my friends, Kathy, who has gathered the best of the best over the years.

My confidence in her recipes along with my love of buttermilk put this recipe at the top of my list. They lasted for days and stayed moist in a tupperware on my countertop. Stay tuned for the next bran muffin recipes. And, please send me links to your favorite, healthy bran muffin recipes. Their difference lies in their shape--large, round, slightly flat--and their flavor, with choices such as orange cherry poppy seed, lemon yogurt blueberry and Granny Smith apple raisin, just to name a few.

All the muffins are nonfat and naturally sweetened. If you've dreamed of a muffin that tastes like a moist, streusel-topped coffeecake, seek no further. This individual-sized coffeecake, made from a sour cream poundcake dough and finished off with a cinnamon streusel topping, was once a special muffin that Basix served only every once in a while, but customers demanded that it be offered every day.
