Good luck with the embryo transfer! I’ve had to be on bed rest after surgery and I know how hard that is. And boring! At least you have muffins to snack on though, right? 🙂
Holly Waterfall says
Thanks Kiersten! Bed rest really was boring and started to get pretty depressing… especially with my mind having so much time to think about all the what-ifs. Luckily I’ve been able to get up and out of the house the last couple days but still taking it easy for the next couple weeks.
Wendy @ ABCs and Garden Peas says
Bran muffins are one of my favorite comfort foods. Lots of butter is a requirement! I used to bake them a lot as a kid, but I haven’t in a while, so thanks for the reminder. I’m going to make a batch so I have an easy breakfast on hand for me and my son. 🙂
Holly Waterfall says
i hadn’t had them in a long time myself… was so glad to have been reminded of my love for these muffins. You should check out my Honey Vanilla Protein Butter to put on these… it’s aMAZE-yum!
Lori @Loris Culinary Creations says

These look so delicious! These remind me of the pioneer muffins from Rainbow Gardens in Ogden. So good!

Thanks Ashley!!
Andrea says
I just got through making these. I changed the recipe a little. I used regular milk (2%) instead of almond milk and added rasins. My husband says they are very good and I agree.
Holly Waterfall says
Thanks Andrea! These are some of my favorite muffins, and I agree that raisins would be a great addition.
Geeg says
I made these today made a few adjustments by adding an extra egg, one mashed banana, shredded pears and a diced apple with walnuts for topping.
Holly Waterfall says
Oh wow, those sound like delicious additions to these muffins! I’m always switching it up. I’ve done pumpkin and berry but never apples and pears. I’m sure it was super yummy! Enjoy!
