I made these a few days ago and they’re fantastic! My husband has type 2 diabetes, and these are low enough in sugar that he can have them as a treat food. (Or, as Cookie Monster says, a “sometimes” food. :0) )

I used regular whole wheat flour and thought they might be a bit stodgy with that and the bran, but they’re moist and not at all heavy. Also love the flavor from the lemon zest and buttermilk.

bonus: they slide right out of the pan!

These muffins are delicious! I followed the recipe as written except I used half whole wheat flour and half all purpose flour. These are the best healthier blueberry bran muffins I’ve made. My muffin pan is on the larger side, but filling each cup about 3/4 of the way resulted in 9 muffins. (I’ve made most of your muffin recipes and I always get 12 in this pan with the other recipes). They do rise more than I expected, so the result was 9 good sized muffins. I’m happy with that, it’s just an FYI for others! Thanks for another great recipe!

I just made your recipe for blueberry bran muffins and they turned out great in spite of numerous substitutions. I didn’t have wheat bran so I used oat bran instead. I didn’t have buttermilk so I substituted plain yogurt thinned with milk. I skipped the blueberries and substituted chopped dried fruit and seeds (sesame and sunflower). I like that this recipe is so versatile!

This is what a muffin should be. Bakery and supermarket blueberry muffins are bad cake. I’ve been looking for a recipe to recreate a perfect muffin I had in a coffee shop in Northampton, Ma. years ago. This is it! I didn’t have a lemon so omitted the zest and had only half as much honey on hand as the recipe calls for, so I added real maple syrup to make up the 1/3 cup. Even with the omission and substitution the muffins were amazingly good. Thank you for creating this.

Thank you for sharing your recipe! I am very excited to try it, I have made a number of your muffin recipes and my family loves them all. I am happy to also use up the bran I have. I have a grain mill flour sifter that I use when I want a higher rise in my breads, and therefore have leftover bran. Now I will use that up! I know this recipe is a winner, because all your recipes are so yummy! I am also going to use the leftover yogurt whey for buttermilk. I have done that in other recipes with success. Hopefully it works out here…

These muffins are excellent! Somehow they tasted really dessert-like but I don’t feel guilty about a single ingredient in them. I’m not sure if this was the correct way, but I used a food processor to grind up bran flakes into 1.5 cups of crumbs. I also tossed in an extra 1/4 cup of blueberries. My husband loves these and he is very picky. Next time I will try a mix of blueberries and strawberries and add the citrus zest (didn’t have any on hand). Definitely a keeper.

These look delicious! Any thoughts on using oat bran instead of wheat bran?
