I’m pretty sure the words that popped into your head didn’t include, “moist, flavorful, enticing,” now did they? Well… they will now with these JUMBO Raisin Bran Muffins!
In honor of my grandfather visiting to see me go off to my sophomore year of college, I made these bran muffins for him! I could sense that the store-bought bran muffins weren’t pleasurable to eat, and I just knew that he never looked forward to eating that Fiber1 Original Bran Cereal every morning.
Fiber One: Cardboard, yes. Delicious, no.
Raisin Bran Muffins: Cardboard, no. Delicious… HECK YES!
These would serve as a perfect breakfast. They contain satiating protein, healthy fats, and filling fiber. Plus, they are low-glycemic! My grandpa loves how these muffins don’t leave your fingers all oily and greasy like the store-bought muffins will do. Compared to the store-bought varieties, these Raisin Bran Muffins have less fat, more fiber, more protein, and a nutritious, recognizable ingredient list.
