fiber! fiber! Get Fiber! These muffins are packed with fiber, but even better they’re packed with flavor. The doctor gave us a recipe for bran muffins many years ago when we were pregnant with our first child.We love bran cereal and those muffins taste delicious OK, but they are definitely not the best. Over the years, we took that recipe and tweaked it here and there until it evolved into this! This recipe is a bran muffin that actually tastes good! The key is coconut oil. It provides a subtle coconut flavor to the muffins, giving it a new and improved taste. Who knew bran muffins could be so delicious?

Bran Grain Options for the Best Bran Muffins Ever:

There are three main types of bran: wheat bran, rice bran, and oat bran. We recommend using shredded wheat bran (whole bran) in this recipe for the best flavor and texture. In a pinch, only flakes? Food Allergy or Celiac Disease? Try oat or rice bran, but stick to whole wheat bran whenever possible.

What if I don’t have buttermilk?

Pro tip: You can actually make a buttermilk substitute at home using milk and white vinegar. Add 1 tablespoon of vinegar (or lemon juice) to 1 cup of milk and let sit for 10 minutes. That’s it. It really doesn’t get any easier than this. Whatever milk you have on hand will do, even almond milk if you’re dairy-free.

What can I use instead of coconut oil?

We highly recommend using coconut oil for extra flavor. However, melted butter or vegetable oil can be used in a pinch.
