Oat Bran Muffins

Oat bran muffins is one of the many types of muffins I make. I love muffins! I have tried them in many ways. They are so easy to make and can be adjusted to suit your own tastes. There are plain muffins, coconut muffins, bran muffins, cornmeal muffins, orange muffins, raisin muffins, and carrot & cheese muffins. They can be topped with sugar, raisins, etc.

This recipe is an oat and bran muffins – an excellent choice for getting fiber in your diet. The oat and bran cereal mix is perfect for this recipe. However, you can use equal amounts of bran and fine quick oats. They are great to eat for breakfast or lunch. They are like quick breads, and once they are not too sweet, you can top them of with a little cream or jam.
