Honey Bran Muffins

…the long lost recipe

I have been making this recipe for Honey Bran Muffins for the longest time – it’s one of our favorites! But in the last year, I when I tried to share it with someone, I realized the blog it was posted on was gone!

PSA: if you enjoy a recipe, always always make sure to print it!! You never know when that blog might disappear.

As I was making these today, I took some notes and a photo so I could post the recipe here and share it…because it deserves to be shared! One of my life’s mission is to feed the world more fiber. Hard to have a good day when you don’t poop. 😉

I will post the recipe as-is and then the way that I make it.

I prefer to use the Trader Joes bran cereal, but All Bran will also work – basically any bran cereal can stand in! The trick for me is to let the cereal and “buttermilk” stand for 30-60 minutes so the cereal softens.

My kids love these! I love these! Hats off to the former Nurse Loves Farmer blog. We miss you!
