Bran Muffins

Hi, hope you're keeping warm. It's cold today! Brrrr!

Had a hankerin' for some muffins so I baked some bran muffins. I had some All Bran cereal I needed to use up. No one likes it for breakfast.

These muffins were supposed to be regular sized, but I made 6 jumbo muffins instead. I think it took about 27 minutes to bake at 375. I was surprised at how little they rose. But that didn't seem to affect the texture. They weren't dense.

They are good. The only change I made in the recipe was that I added 1/2 cup peanut butter chips. It was all I had. I didn't have any dried fruit or I would have put that in.

They turned out fine. Not dry or overly sweet. I would definately make these again.

Enjoy.
