Great Recipe. Just served them this morning, a great hit with everyone.
(reply to denise – I used soft margarine, it worked fine.)
I visited a friend when she was using a raisin bran cereal to make muffins, but she used buttermilk: does anyone know if I would just swap-out the “milk” in this recipe & substitute the buttermilk and would ya know if it would be the same quantity or not?
Thanks, cuz I just bought a tall quart of buttermilk to make Betty Crocker’s Garlic Chicken (dipped in buttermilk & coated with BC’s Garlic Mashed potato’s, so I’m gonna have quite a lot of leftover buttermilk so I thought I’d make Raisin Bran muffins using buttermilk, but finding a recipe for it is proving difficult). Thanks all!
I finally found the recipe. I have the original recipe off the box somewhere. I have been looking on these sites trying to find it. Thank You. This is really great recipe.
can I use oil instead of shortning
Has anyone tried using applesauce instead of shortening?
I used 1/4 cup applesauce and unsweetened almond milk…delish
I grew up with these muffins and we always used oil. I discovered that raisin bran crunch does great too and already has nuts
I used butter and the muffins didn’t rise much, very heavy but tastes ok.
I would like to know how the soft shortening is incorporated into the recipe. Do you melt it, or use as is? I would like to use , this recipe. Please clarify this for me. Thank you.
Try adding molasses – a few swirls – it gives the bran muffins a darker color and tastes much better
