Bessie’s Bran Muffins

Muffin Recipes | 0 comments

This is Auntie Bessie’s recipe, and I have made it for years. In recent years, being fat conscious, I have substituted plain yogurt for the sour cream, and they are just as good. I have made these muffins for lots of people, including my car mechanics (my car got really good service that day!) and they are very popular. Don’t fill the muffin cups too full on this one, as the batter will just overflow and make a mess.
