Blueberry Bran Muffins

[hewsie]

Really good!  They rise well, even with half whole wheat flour.  Light texture, but lotsa flavour.  I used spelt bran instead of wheat bran, and added 1-1/2 tsp of oil to better mimic the cafe muffins I'm addicted to.  Baking time was 20 mins.

These were delicious! I didn't use blueberries because the ones i have were kinda sour. I used half whole wheat flour and half whole wheat pastry flour, and added cinnamon, nutmeg, and ginger. I will be making these on a regular basis, these are the first bran muffins i've had that i've actually liked!

I used frozen raspberries instead of blueberries, oat bran instead of wheat bran, and whipped up a little raspberry juice glaze to put on top. perfection!
thanks for the recipe.

Blushinmuffin, you create the most beautiful food I've ever seen!  I'm inspired!

BRANTASTIC!  I left out the applesauce and added 1 1/4 cups of grated pear, 1tbsp of grated ginger, and 1 tbsp of safflower oil to the wet mix. I also added a 1/2 tsp ginger powder and 1/2 tsp nutmeg to my dry mix. MMMMMmmmmmmmmmmmmm Ginger pear bran - of all treats muffins are my favorite, and of all muffins this ranks #2 in my favorite, right after morning glory muffins

I gave these 4 stars, because they were tasty but SUPER moist - as in, almost TOO moist, bordering on wet. I even cooked them for an extra 10 minutes. Did anyone else experience this? Next time I might use extra flour or less liquid. I used all whole-wheat flour, but otherwise followed the recipe exactly. Thanks!

The first time I made these, I used oat bran (that was all I had) and they were pretty good. The second time around I tried wheat bran and wow, where these ever good! Instead of 3/4 cup of fruit, I used 1 cup because I like more fruit in my muffins. I think for more variation, I will try soaking the bran in mashed bananas or maybe even pureed pumpkin...I'll report the results!

I'm so happy to have found this recipe! I just made another type of vegan bran muffin i found on the site, but they turned out super... dense, and not too flavourful. I can't wait to try these, and i hope that mine look (and taste) as good as yours do blushmuffin!

Excellent recipe. Perfect texture too -- not too dense or too moist. I used half wheat flour, half all purpose flour. Didn't have blueberries so I used a 1/2 cup dried cranberries instead.

I love these! so moist and delicious!

These were super delicious muffins!!  And so easy to make too!  I did a few substitutions..... I used 1/2 whole wheat and 1/2 whole wheat pastry flour and used turbindo raw sugar instead of the brown sugar. 
Oh, and I put in fresh cut pears, as someone had suggested.  I don't know if I would do pears again; they didn't soften as much as I thought they would while baking but...still very good!  I will make this again!

By the way, this recipe is almost identical to the 'low fat bran muffin' also on this site; that recipe calls for an extra 1/4 c of mashed banana.  I was trying to decide which one to do before I realized-hey they are the same!

i loved these! i made a few changes...ok so a lot of changes- pastry flour instead of white, 1c of water instead of soymilk, wholesome sweeteners zero instead of sugar and frozen mango instead of blueberries. oh, and i added 1tsp cinnamon. i made jumbo muffins and they baked for 27min. good stuff!!

This is the best vegan muffin recipe I have used to date. So many times they come out like bricks, but these were light and fluffy. Next time I will try zucchini and carrots instead. Thanks for a great base recipe, so much can be done with this!

This recipe rocks.  The muffins are firm, yet moist, not too sweet, and have a nice texture.  There are lots of things to add to the basic batter, so I'll be experimenting.  This is a recipe that people with limited baking skills, like myself, and make perfect the first time.  These muffins would be great for omnis.
