1. Great muffins. I did not have buttermilk so I substituted milk with a teaspoon of apple cider vinegar. I also added, 1/8 teaspoon of ground clove. This recipe made a dozen tasty muffins.

2. The recipe made 18 regular sized muffins. Very tasty, I added the raisins and some chopped pecans.

3. Flavorful and easy to make, they were moist. Added walnuts and used very ripe bananas. I will make these again.

4. Wonderful recipe enjoyed by the family. I followed the recipe exactly and only added raisins and a topping of 1/4 c. flour, 2/3 c. brown sugar, 1 tsp cinnamon, 2 Tbs. soft butter & 1/3 cup chopped nuts.( NOTE: the topping is enough for 24 muffins). They were absolutely delicious. HOWEVER, there was left-over batter that could have filled a couple mini-bread pans had I been prepared. I filled the cupcake liners to the top but ended up throwing out the extra batter since I had nothing to bake it in. Why not make this note on your original recipe?<br/>One week later: Just made the second batch and used a 21/2 X 5" pan for the excess batter. Still delicious!

5. Thank you for the terrific recipe! I am always looking for a way to bring more fiber into our diet... after reading some of the other reviews I decided to try 1 batch as written -- Kittencal's recipes are always great the way they are!!! When that batch was gone in less than an hour, I doubled the recipe, and made a couple of changes....adding 1/2 cup of flax seed meal/wheat germ blend, 3/4 cup of craisins. Wonderful! (With the doubled recipe I got 12 jumbo muffins and 2 mini loaves) Thank you again Kittencal for delicious muffins!

1. A winner, as always with Kitten! I used plain 1% milk (can never seem to get buttermilk onto my shopping list) and half whole wheat flour. I'm sure buttermilk would make them even tastier. I got 6 regular (though overfilled) and 26 mini (also overfilled) muffins. Very impressed. I did have issues with the regular sized ones falling apart as I removed them from the pan, though I am assuming thats my fault - I didn't have any paper liners and I used blueberries instead of nuts or raisins (and probably too many of them). They also took longer to bake than stated, but I'm sure thats due to the frozen blueberries and that the cups were overfilled. <br/>All that to say this: I will definitely make these again! (Hopefully with buttermilk next time... and maybe that topping)<br/>Oh, and I did use store brand (Sainsbury's) bran cereal with no issues.

2. Delicious! The four bananas I defrosted yielded about 1 1/2 -2 cups, so I made a double batch. Made 23 large muffins. I used natural bran rather than the cereal, and they were perfect. I used dates instead of raisins, but cut the amount down to half, since dates are sweeter. I mixed some walnut oil into the veg oil for extra flavour (about 1/4 of the oil), and did add the cinnamon.Thanks for a great recipe!

3. Thanks so much for this recipe. I have been looking for ages for an easy bran muffin recipe, and this one is especially great because you can alter it in (I assume) so many ways. I made my own buttermilk by warming 1c semi skimmed milk and adding 2T lemon juice. I also used 1t cinnamon and 1t nutmeg and added chopped walnut and used 1/2 c white flour & 1c wholemeal flour. Gorgeous!I also will update when I try alternatives out as I think this would be great with apples & molasses and I would like to try using apple sauce instead of the oil.

4. Very good. I got 18 muffins and subbed chocolate chips for the nuts and raisins.

5. These are our favourite muffins!! My three year old and I make them all the time. The recipe is fantastic as-is but over time we've reduced the sugar to just 1/2 cup brown (one time we even forgot the sugar altogether and because the bananas are so sweet the muffins still tasted fine). Also instead of using buttermilk we use 1/2 cup milk and 1/2 cup yogurt and don't bother warming it. For a special treat, chocolate chips are a super substitute for the raisins.Overall, an AWESOME recipe!!
