Healthy Bran Muffins Recipe

This healthy bran muffins recipe is a family favorite.  It’s the kind of recipe that Grandma makes when her grandchildren come into town. And the recipe my children will pinpoint with happy memories of hot buttery muffins at Grandma’s house.  Actually we call these Grandma’s muffins!  I really love this recipe because you can throw in a lot of healthy junk in it and kids don’t really notice.  Also, it’s not too sweet.  You can play around with the recipe to make it really healthy or really naughty (like adding chocolate chips).  I gave some different add ins ideas below, and the recipe still tastes so good.  These healthy bran muffins are a good start for your morning or an afternoon snack.  My kids always requests one in their lunchbox when we have leftovers.  One of things I love about this healthy bran muffins recipe is that it uses applesauce to make it moist.  I tend to make this recipe a lot in the fall months because that is when I process apples and make my year’s worth of homemade applesauce.  But any kind of applesauce will do!  Also, what is great is that you can double the recipe and then freeze leftovers.
