I really like a good bran muffin but am not sure my current recipe is as good as it gets.
Do you make them and if so do you have a recipe that you are able to share?
I like them when they have a crunchy outer and an inside that is moist get with good texture.
I know the moisture will come from the addition of dried or fresh fruit.
Most recipes have on a little butter, some have an egg, some don't. Some are low in sugar but it is the sugar that helps to create the golden crust on the outside so I am happy with sugar.
Any recipe suggestions?

I have one from a very old recipe book '101 ways with food' - an un-dated Wilson and Horton publication probably from the 1950s or 60s. I tried to check the date for copyright reasons, but a Google search under the title came up with nothing. If you're happy for me to post the recipe, I will!

Editing this - the book is called '1001 ways with food' - but that didn't come up in a Google search either...

Bran Muffins

2.5 cups flour
4 cups Bran
1 tsp Salt
2.5 tsps Baking Soda
1.5 cups Sugar
Half a cup of oil - I use rice bran
2 cups Milk
2 Eggs
Half a cup of Sultanas

Mix dry ingredients , add sultanas.

Beat eggs, add milk & oil.

Add to dry ingredients and mix together lightly.

Bake 10 - 12 mins @ 200deg. Mixture will keep 5 weeks in the fridge. Stir before using.

I use muffin papers and it keeps the pan a lot cleaner.
