Honey Oat Bran Muffin
Mimi’s Cafe may hate me to say this, but the only reason I go there is for these muffins. I will admit mine do not look as good as theirs because they have had years of practice!
They taste just as good or better because as always I have added a little twist! These are the epitome of comfort food for me! I hope you like them.
We had a hard time trying to find wheat bran, but I found it at Beehives in Spanish Fork by Kmart, I heard that Good Earth might also have it. Anyways, it was cheap so that’s always exciting!

Directions
1. Preheat the oven to 350 degrees. Whisk together all the ingredients for the glaze together, set aside.
2. In a stand mixer put in your brown sugar, honey, molasses, and vegetable oil and mix until it is smooth. Then add the egg, water, and orange zest.
3. In a separate bowl, whisk together remaining dry ingredients including flour, wheat bran, salt, dry milk powder, baking powder, and baking soda. Then slowly add dry ingredients into stand mixer bowl.
4. Evenly distribute the glaze into each of the 12 cupcake tins, spread over the bottom, and the sides until covered completely.
5. Fill the cups 2/3’s of the way full. Don’t fill them too full or else it will overflow. Bake for 20 minutes or until the toothpick comes out clean.
6. Once they are done baking flip out of the tin immediately. Add a little butter on top and enjoy!!
MUFFIN RECIPES
YUM! These are my favorite Mimi's muffins! These look amazing. Can't wait to make them! Pinning!
I had to add a extra 1/2 cup flour, way to runny. Also I am not sure if a ingredient was missing for the glaze, had a hard time spreading the top. VERY good after baked.
Oh my! These look so GOOD! Thanks for sharing this recipe. I bet this would be my new favorite!
Can oat bran be substituted for wheat bran? They look amazing!
yes
Not sure why they are called Oat Bran muffins, when there is no oat bran in them!
not sure either! lol! they are good!
Any way these could be made without the egg?
for sure!
Just made these, they’re fantastic!! How do you store these?
I’m so glad to hear that! You can store them in an airtight container.
