  This is a good muffin. I only got 24. It would be nice for this to be updated as to amt of batter per muffin or if mini muffin. Especially for those of us counting carbs. Spark uses this on meal plan for diabetics, who knows if we are getting it right. - 1/14/12

  I agree with most of the comments already posted. The muffins were yummy. The title is muffins and not mini-muffins and the recipe doesn't specify, so I used a standard muffin tin filled about 2/3 full. I got 24 muffins which doubles the calories. - 9/15/09

  I add just a dash or two of cinnamon to give them an extra layer of flavor. It's just what they need! I do not buy Splenda or buttermilk, but using regular sugar and 2% makes them out to be only 125 calories per serving, and that's using a regular muffin tin. Bravo! I eat one almost every morning! - 1/21/10

  It is particularly bad that this recipe is an editor's choice recipe when the serving, and therefore nutritional data is so far off. If you tried to stretch this recipe to 50 muffins, they would be so small that at 400 degrees for 20 minutes they would be burnt to a crisp. - 4/14/07

  The whole batch has come up to 2545 calories, and it looks like I can make about 24 muffins which is a little more than 100 calories per muffin. So, anyone who makes this just needs to know to divide the number of muffins you get into 2545 calories and that is how many calories per muffin. - 5/14/10

  I love bran muffins and this recipe is great. If you use a mini-muffin pan, you can easily get 50 muffins. If you use a regular muffin pan it is about half. Great recipe and very filling! I used plenty of pam and had no problems. - 8/27/07

  OK, Sparkpeople people! I carefully made this using mini muffins, and the recipe actually made 61 mini muffins. I baked them for 12 minutes at 375 degrees. Using the info posted by Fireflybride, the correct calorie count for 61 muffins is 42 calories per mini muffin. - 8/5/13

  Great recipe! I freeze them after baking and cooling. When I'm reading to eat one, I cover it in paper towel, and pop it in the microwave for 30 seconds to thaw. Adding blueberries or raisins is also great. Yum! - 9/30/11

  I added Blueberries and the only thing I would add would be to spray the cups or papers with Pam so they don't stick. Wonderful recipe, Thank you, debbie - 8/7/07

  Made these today - my first Spark Recipe - and they are delicious. I made 24 full size muffins. They are not overly sweet, have great texture. Perfect for breakfast or a snack. - 10/11/11

  We love these! I cook them all at once and store them in my fridge after I cook them, then they are always ready. I used a reg. muffin tin, but filled the sprayed-liner 1/2 way, made 36 muffins@79 calories. I subbed splenda brown sugar for all sugar/splenda. Adds 34 calories, but improves texture. - 1/22/10

  Nice and filling. My wife put a little butter on hers and said they were fabulous. I ate them plain and they tasted fine. My dad even ate one and liked it and he hates anything healthy. - 8/3/07

  Love the recipe. I use it (as is) for pancakes. However, it is true that it only makes 24, and I found that the batter became 'gritty' when left too long in the fride. Also, it is very, very filling. - 3/14/07

  These are great! Love the muffins, but I agree with CUDA above that it only makes 24 muffins, not the 50 that is suggested...I wonder if that affects the calculation on the calories ?!? If so, they are likely double the calories listed on the recipe. Someone needs to fix that... - 3/13/07

  These are very good. I didn't have buttermilk so I used a scant 2 cups of 2% with 2 tbsp of lemon juice and I used 2/3 cup of whole wheat flour with all purpose for the rest. Also didn't have Splenda but I did have Stevia so I used that in a 1:1 exchange. - 4/14/21

  Very yummy....as previously mentioned it's just the amount needed to adjust - I used regular muffin tin and it took much longer than 20 minutes - therefore I will use mini muffins [just right for a snack]
  Bottom line - these were delish!! - 9/20/20

  I made the Bran Muffins for breakfast this morning. I enjoyed them with a teaspoon of peanut butter and teaspoon of Smart Buttery Spread. Also, a small bowl of yogurt and fresh strawberries. I have enough Bran Muffins for several weeks. The muffins make a very special breakfast or snack.

  I substitute 1 cup of the flour for 1 cup almond meal. Yum. I also add hot water to all 3 cups of bran cereal. Love these muffins - a family favorite. I never have them in the fridge for long! - 11/2/15

  I tried this as written and they were pretty good, but kind of one dimensional. I made them again with 2 cups milk plus zest and juice of one lemon instead of the buttermilk and added 1 tsp. cinnamon and 1/2 tsp. nutmeg, which gave them more flavor. Also added 12 oz blueberries. - 12/24/14

  I put two in the oven to try. I added 5 raisins to each. Then I read the comments below. I will use PAM next time. They are still cooking. I love bran muffins grilled in butter (leftover from NY deli days). I will try using its not butter as a substitute. I am so excited about homemade bran muffins. - 7/23/13

  O.K.
  
  Just made these and I'm a bit disappointed with the taste. I made two substitutions and perhaps if I had stuck with the original recipe, they would have been better. I substituted whole wheat flour for the white flour and I omitted the sugar and used 3/4 c Splenda. Hubby liked it though. - 9/1/12

  Tastes very good, would've rated higher but for the confusion over baking time and serving size. - 5/16/12

  The title is not "mini" muffins but in order to get 50 out of the recipe they are mini. If you bake them as mini they are not a doughy. I really like these. - 2/22/12

  To make this for whole family (I don't serve child artificial sweetener) omitted Splenda, no substitution. Used 1/4 c. batter per std-size muffin. Very good, teen son approves. Might reduce bake time by a minute or two, will experiment with remainder in fridge (love that I can make ahead!). Thanks! - 1/14/12

  I enjoyed this recipe. My family are not bran "or health minded" so I added apple chunks to them. Then I sprinkled a little Splenda brown sugar on top. Absolutely wonderful!
  Definitely needs spray on bottom & sides to keep from sticking. I tried paper liners but they stuck to them. - 10/21/11

  I used pureed bananas instead of applesauce, brown sugar splenda and whole wheat pastry flour. I also added vanilla. It made 62 mini-muffins. Delicious and great for breakfast. - 10/2/11

  I used the buttermilk substitute and they are a little gooey inside-maybe I shouldn't have added all the water it called for. But, I am thinking about adding flax next time so that might balance things. I would love to add some blueberries or some raisins, but would need the carb count updated. - 6/8/11

  I am preparing to make these muffins, need to know how much batter to use per muffin to get 50 total. Is it a 1/4 cup, 1/8 cup?? I will rate and take a picture once I get an answer and make them. Thank you. - 4/5/11

  These muffins are great but be careful not to bake too long- I baked them about 16 minutes and they were more moist. They are wonderful with just a bit of apple butter or unsweetened applesauce. - 1/9/11

  My husband could not believe how good these were! I substituted 1 tbs of flax seed and 3 tbsp for each egg and added blueberries. I also added 2 dashes of cinnamon. I made 24 of the bite-size ones and have plenty of batter left to make at least another 24! Perfect snack for our trip to NC!! - 7/2/10

  I love bran muffins. I found this recipe to be a bit "heavier" than what I am used to, but taste just as good as my "high in fat" recipe. Seems like I am not the only one that only got 24 ... but I am not a fan of mini size muffins. - 1/12/10

  I love them and will keep them in my fridge as a staple. I use them for pancakes Or eat them with cheese and a banana for lunch. I did not get 50 either but I'm trying to shrink my serving sizes anyways. Next time mini muffin cups - 11/20/07

  These were delicious & easy to make. I added pumpkin pie spice and cinnamon. There is NO way this makes 50 muffins. I like my muffins ginormous-sized, so this recipe made about 18 muffins, making the nutritionals not quite as fabulous. Tasty, lower calorie recipe when I'm craving baked goods. - 4/21/07

  I make these often! I have used unsweetened pumpkin puree instead of applesauce and it is very good too.
  I do always add lots of spices to it, cinn and ginger. I count 1 reg sz muffin as 2 servings. I agree about not using the paper cups. I am making these today ! - 3/16/07
