Hi Lucas.. apart from the recipes here that you can find through the search bar on the left of your screen, there's a great bran muffin recipe on the back of the bran packet..

For any recipe, if there's wheat-germ included and you don't want to use it, replace with the same quantity of extra bran, or use any other grain - rolled oats, rolled rye, rolled millet, etc..

Bran muffin recipes are great as you can change the recipe easily every time, using what you have.. ie.. add another grain as above, add some dried fruit.. any kind, add coconut, cocoa, coffee.. etc..etc..

I always add a mashed banana or an equivalent amount of chopped cooked peaches, apricot's, plums, etc..etc.. - sometimes a little extra flour is needed, so add it to get the right mix. Adding fruit like this will give a lovely moist muffin.

A grated apple, persimmon or pear, can be added, or use grated carrot, courgette/zucchini, etc..

You can also add essences.. coconut, vanilla, etc..

Enjoy experimenting and finding great combinations you love..

bev, you always make me think of Santa's little elves.tip-toeing around late at night, not disturbing the sleepers ;)

But you always bump the interesting threads that are worth giving another life. Keep it up!
