As these always seem to be popular, especially with school back, I thought I'd start a thread for these. What are people's favourites. Mine would be blueberry, also raspberry and white choc. Still looking for a nice moist bran recipe, if anyone has one. Do many people make savoury, I very rarely do, although I do make A Holst's Pizza ones every now and then and they are really nice. Always looking for new recipes if anyone wants to share some.

Alison Holst's muffin book has a lovely recipe for Date and Yoghurt muffins. They are lovely and moist

We love for Sat lunch the ham(or bacon), avocado and spring onion ones as they have a good mustardy flavour to them. I use Stephanies Seedy mustard in them and the kids (24 & 23) love them with cheese and a ham slice in them. Consequently, they only get made when they come home now.
Have a lovely banana bran one that is very moist and easy!!!! to eat, but they are healthy ones and in A. Holsts book.

I have a lovely mashed banana and yoghurt one if you are interested. Let me know and I'll send it to you

Regards Raewyn

Yes please Raewyn. Cheers

McCafe has a lovely carrot, bran and walnut muffin so if any one has a recipe for something similar I would really love it. My kids love Crunchy lemon muffins It is a also an Alison Holst recipe and I quiet often get up early and make a batch for the kids. Also I make chocolate and peach muffins which the kids like. But I too would like a really nice bran muffin so if anyone has a recipe please send it to me.

We had some blueberries with our dessert tonight and with the ones leftover I plan to make muffins. Will any plain muffin recipe do or is there a nicer one our there??

There is a good and wholesome bran muffin recipe on the back of the packet of bran that you get from the supermarket.

mums muffin recipes are posted in an older thread. they are very moist and yummy and have greek yoghurt in them. They keep very well and make lovelly cream cheese muffins, blueberry, chocolate or whatever flavour you can think of. Mums favourite were Rhubarb and apple with demuera sugar sprinkled on top.
kind Regards

I make orange ones some times.You use a whole orange skin and all.They are tasty.Just now I have blackberries and I am using them instead of blue berries,with a little grated apple and brown sugar in my muffins.

Hi Raewyn

Have got a great bulk Bran Muffin recipe that can be kept in the fridge and you just cook'em as you need'em, they keep a couple of weeks. They are yummy for breakfast and the beauty is you can have them fresh and hot out of the oven really quickly. Happy to share if anyone wants it.:-o

Bulk Bran Muffins

I have checked with the person that gave me the recipe and she has assured me that it came from a community cookbook so guess we are not breaching any copyright.

1 breakfast cup sugar
1/2 cup of butter
2 beaten eggs
1 cup bran flakes (baking bran not the cereal)
2 cups All Bran (cereal)
3/4 cup sultanas
1 cup boiling water
2 1/2 tsp Baking Soda
2 cups Buttermilk
2 1/2 cups flour
1 tsp cinamon
1 tsp salt


Cream butter and sugar, add beaten eggs, stir in cereals, add sultanas and boling water.Combine buttermilk and baking soda, add. Add flour, cinamon and salt. Let mixture stand for at least an hour before using. Bake in muffin tins at 200 C for 12 - 15 mins. Will keep in fridge for up to 5 weeks.

This was given to me by a cousin, and brings back memories of when I stayed with her as a teenager waking of a morning to the smell of these cooking along with fresh percolated coffee. Hmmmm wonderful.

Enjoy

Hi Kaye C, I have no butter milk, will it make a difference if i use ordinary milk.???
Thanks

I bought the Simple Deli Food recipe book yesterday by Julie Le Clerc & saw some yummy muffins in there using small squares of Turkish Delight. My DH is a turkish delight fan, so they will be nice to try this weekend.

I have a lovely moist bran muffin recipe ... the secret is the amount of golden syrup in them

Moist Bran Muffins

2 cups bran
1/2 cup sugar
1 cup flour
pinch of salt
Mix together.
Mix in separate bowl:
2 tbsp melted butter
1/2 cup golden syrup
Warm 1 cup milk and add 1 tsp baking soda.
Add the syrup and milk mixtures to the dry ingredients.
Combine until just mixed.
Bake in greased patty tins at 200 for 10-15 minutes.

Enjoy!

Hi Sharon,
You can use sour cream, yogurt or sour milk instead of buttermilk. Just add a tbspn lemon juice to a cup of fresh milk to sour it.
Hope this helps, Elaine

Alison Holst has a lovely Bran muffin recipe, if you don't have it i can post it for you if you like Michelle also those muffins you were taking about the raspberry and white choc sound devine do you have a recipe for them.

This is a bran muffin recipe I keep in the fridge (up to a month) and cook in the microwave as needed so always fresh. I usually do a couple for morning tea and we never get sick of them.
3/4 cup water, 1-1/4 cups bran, 1/4 cup oil (I use Canola), 1 egg, 1/2 cup brown sugar, 150 g yoghurt, 1-1/4 cups flour, 1-1/2 teaspoons baking soda, 1/4 teaspoon salt, 2 teaspoons mixed spice (or one each of cinnamon and mixed spice), 1/2 cup sultanas (optional)
Heat water in microwave bowl for approximately 2 minutes. Add bran and oil and stir. Add beaten egg and sugar. Add yoghurt. Sift dry ingredients and add, blending until just mixed. Leave in fridge until required. Spoon into microwave muffin tray and cook approximately 55 seconds per muffin. These are great when someone pops in unexpectedly. Within 15 - 20 minutes you can be having a cuppa with fresh muffins. Also usually have a tray of the following in the freezer and it thaws fairly quickly as it is not a thick slice. Melt 4 ozs butter, added 3/4 cup coconut, 1/2 cup sugar, 1 cup flour, 1 teaspoon baking powder, 2 large teaspoons cocoa. Press into tin and bake 25 minutes (approx) at 180C. Ice while hot with 1 oz butter, 3/4 cup coconut, 1 cup icing sugar, 2 teaspoons cocoa, vanilla essence, milk to mix to spreading consistency. Very quick and easy. Enjoy. :p

Mary

Could you also cook this bran muffin recipe in the oven?

Have never tried it Angela as the microwave is so quick but don't know why not. If you don't have any microwave patty pans just put two or three muffin paper cups together and that will be fine. Let's know if you try them in the oven how they turn out. Will be interested.?:-(:/

The rhubarb is poppin in my backyard, and I'd love to find a good muffin receipe to use a little of it.

Hungrily,

Jim

Mary, I have just made your muffins and I can thoroughly recommend them. Didn't have any paper patty liners so used squares of baking paper instead. Took them out of the paper so as to stop sweating after they were cooked. Also my microwave is 1100 watts so it took 1.20 mins to cook two. Cheers.

Would love raspberry and white chocolate muffin recipe if possible
