If I were going to invite (you) some of my closest friends over for a cup of coffee to catch up on things, which I really need to do, I’d make these yummy muffins to share. This is by far is my most favorite muffin recipe – ever. I can’t really explain why, but I’ll try. These muffins are moist, a little sweeter than most, and their flavor is unique. In other words, not so branny.
This recipe originated from one that my mom had. Her recipe makes a whopping 50 muffins. I certainly don’t have room for that many muffins in my freezer – do you? So, instead of making enough muffins to feed an army, I did a little adjusting and cut the recipe down considerably. Now I can make a dozen at a time without having muffins up the wazoo.
These are some of the easiest muffins to make. I just throw the ingredients in a large bowl and mix them up by hand. This recipe makes a dozen muffins.
Grease muffin pan with non-stick cooking spray and preheat oven to 350 degrees.
Grab & Go Bran Muffins
1/2 c. sugar
1/4 c. butter, melted
1 egg, beaten
1/2 tsp. salt
1 1/2 tsp. baking soda
1 1/4 c. all-purpose flour
1 c. sour milk
1 c. bran flakes (If you like raisins, use substitute raisin bran flakes)
Mix all ingredients together and pour into prepared muffin pan. Bake for approximately 13 minutes. Check with a toothpick to make sure center is done. Remove from oven; let cool before removing them from the pan.
What is your favorite muffin?
Love these muffins and so GOOD to see you! Always looking for something delicious that is not too difficult! Hope all is well friend. Please share 🙂 Hugs.
What a perfect muffin. Simple yet satisfying. And wholesome too! Thank you for sharing them!
I would like to have the original recipe for 50 muffins. I do have freezer space..plus a reunion coming.
Thanks in advance

What a delightful looking bake you have there! =)
I’ve missed you, Eileen! Glad to see that you are back! I’m not a huge fan of the “branny” muffins, which is why these appeal to me. Muffins are one of my favorite things, so picking a favorite is so difficult. Pumpkin? Lemon Poppy? Blueberry? I love them all! Adding these to the repetoire — pinning!
Eileen…these look fabulous! I am so intrigued by them because I have to really be in the mood for those ‘branny’ muffins, yet I love to incorporate bran into muffins somehow! It almost looks like a cinnamon swirl throughout. And can you tell me about ‘sour milk’? I’d love to catch up over a cup of coffee and a couple of these beauties! : )
Hi Anne, I’d love to have you over to catch up! As for the sour milk, I add one tablespoon of vinegar to the cup of milk to sour it. You can also use lemon juice. It gives the milk a buttermilk like texture without the calories. And I use skim milk but any kind works. I also use sour milk in my sugar cookies. I love the flavor it adds.
Yum!
