I love bran muffins. I love using buttermilk in baking. And I love molasses. These muffins are perfect. I used All Bran buds and let them soak for about 10 minutes while I got the flour ready to add. They have a light texture with a nice molasses touch. It made 16 muffins for me. I had a bed and breakfast in Maine for 12 years. These would have been perfect in the morning with coffee or tea.
