[donotprint] My family and I love Bran Muffins. I grew up eating them and now my kids are growing up eating them.
They’re filling, healthy and chock full of delicious fiber goodness.
While I was browsing my recipe pantry this past weekend I found this recipe card written by my Granny 
So, this past weekend, we made some Raisin Bran Muffins — with a bit of a twist — a bit of a modification on Granny’s recipe.
We added cinnamon and craisins
and these muffins flew off my cooling racks!
I don’t have the usual step by steps because I was wrangling two very eager helpers

Can’t wait to see what y’all are cookin’ up this week!
Here are a few of my favorites from last week’s linky:
Those look yummy!

Thank you! They really are — super filling. These aren’t a light and fluffy cupcake type muffin, they’re a meal!
I love old recipe cards, particularly handwritten ones! We have a family bran muffin recipe too, which uses bran, not bran cereal, but I’m fascinated by the idea of using Raisin Bran cereal. What a cool idea! I also like the idea of subbing applesauce for oil, and those craisins look scrumptious. I’ll still keep making mine, but I’m looking forward to giving your recipe a try too! Thank you for sharing another delicious recipe, Rachel, and also for hosting Mouthwatering Mondays.
Thank you, April. Me too. My Granny’s recipe cards are such a treasure.. it kills me that there aren’t any from previous generations.
Great post. I love the addition of the recipe cards. I have many family favorites that look much loved like that one.

I have no idea what your comment says because the comment luv is flashing “BACON ARTICHOKE DRESSING” at me and I can’t get past that.. :::drooling:::
Those look so good; I’m printing the recipe now
JeNae, You must come back and tell me what you think and what changes you make!
So I made your muffins today; all 4 dozen of them. Luckily, I was making them for a family dinner & was able to pawn some off onto people. There were very good & I liked the added craisens. The only thing I did different was switch out 2 of the 5 cups of flour with wheat flour. Thanks for sharing
You got 4 dozen out of them! WOW.
Sorry you had to pawn them off
I’m glad y’all liked them, though. 
Thank you for coming back and sharing!
Thanks for hosting again!! I linked up a few things again this week…..
Ohhh, yum! Great breakfast idea.

Happy Monday! I stayed with your muffin theme and shared my recipe for Coconut Pineapple Muffins. This recipe is gluten free, but it can be made using “regular’ flour if you don’t have an issue with gluten.
Thanks for hosting!
Andrea (Andreas Kitchen)´s most recent brilliance ..Italian Sausage Sauce On Zucchini Ribbon “Pasta”
I grew up on that same recipe! I make it once in a while, and I usually change it up a bit too. It’s so yummy, and the batter keeps in the fridge for a while, which is nice if you want to have fresh muffins some morning…
sara´s most recent brilliance ..Pasta Gorgonzola with Asparagus and Peas
These look and sound so good and good for you! Please share your recipe with our readers by linking it up at Muffin Monday. Thanks!

That is so special! I have my grandmother’s special recipes….handwritten….too. I am going to make your grandmother’s muffins…..but I like your additions.

I’m sharing muffins today, too! Thanks for hosting.
Lisa @ Happy in Dole Valley´s most recent brilliance ..Muffin Monday – Strawberry Shortcake Muffins
These look great! And even more special with your grandmother’s recipe. Last summer I made bread and butter pickles with my grandmother’s recipe and the smells brought back a flood of memories.
Thanks for hosting all this temptation!
The muffins look fabulous! I love the handwritten recipe card. I’m late to the party this week, but sharing a very EASY stovetop method of making Chicken Parm Pasta. Not only does it keep the oven off in the hot months, it’s a FRUGAL choice too because the recipe uses 2 chicken breasts which will feed a family of 5–6 with this recipe.
Have a GREAT week!!

Bran muffins are such a great breakfast idea and adding the craisins makes it just that much tastier. Good idea!
