Followed recipe completely, and they are delicious and moist. I like honey butter on them.

These are outstanding! Moist, flavorful, healthy muffins! So great to grab one for breakfast, with a cup of coffee. Yum.

I loved the muffins. My husband who despises bran muffins actually really liked them, he has had them for breakfast the past two days.

I did however, make a few changes. I didn't have any molasses, so I substituted 3 TB of dark corn syrup and an additional 3 TB brown sugar. To make it healthier I used 1/2 cup whole wheat flower and only 1 cup of all purpose flour. These will be a favorite for sure!!!1

I LOVE bran muffins, but I did not like these really at all. They did not rise well, they were way too moist, and the chunks of banana were unpleasant (probably because they were pockets of moisture. I tried baking them longer, but that didn't help. Most muffins are baked at a higher temp, so I also tried turning the oven up to 400, which didn't really help. To the last bit of mix, I added some self-rising flour and I think they are going to be much better. Still, I won't be making this recipe again!

These are unbelievably good. I don't think there is a single recipe of Ina's that we haven't loved! I read many reviews before trying these and decided though I usually follow recipes exactly I would stay true to the ingredients. The only variation was I had no buttermilk so I made my own version by whole milk and fresh lemon juice. I am considering the next time I make these using more of the unprocessed wheat bran. I added golden raisins as thats all I had in cupboard. These are ridiculously good!

I love Ina, but pretty much hated this recipe- I don't know if it's b/c I don't like bran, or perhaps the molasses was too much for me-but I tasted the dough and knew I was in trouble-so I added some chocolate chips- omitted the raisens b/c I don't like those either- I will forgo the bran recipe in the future and opt for a not so healthy muffin recipe..(:

Really yummy, easy to make. Molasses is very very subtle, not overpowering at all (I probably put in 5 to 5.5 TB because it was hard to measure it accurately without taking the time to scrape the measuring spoon each time. I love bran muffins and this is my first recipe I've tried - it's great because hey it's Ina's...but I would love to have more texture - doubling the walnuts would be a start...but I am missing the coarse texture of bran muffins I'm used to. This one was very soft and smooth. Which is great for any kind of muffin...but I want it grittier, heartier. I'd love to try this with blueberries next.

Very good bran muffins. Tastes like a good banana bread. The molasses wasn't too powerful at all in my opinion. Very moist.
