EASY BRAN MUFFINS
Peggy Reed of Vergennes, Vermont says her granddaughter Kelsey has always loved cooking. At age 4, Kelsey entered Bran Muffins in a baking contest. "The recipe Kelsey used is great for kids. The ingredients are measured in whole amounts," Peggy explains. "It makes a lot of batter, but it can be stored in the refrigerator so the muffins can be made in batches." By the way, Peggy also entered muffins in the contest, competing against Kelsey. Kelsey won the blue ribbon and Grandma came in second place!

Tips:
- Use fresh corn bran: Fresh corn bran has a sweeter flavor and a higher nutritional value than older corn bran.
- Soak the corn bran before using: Soaking the corn bran in water or milk before using will help to soften it and make it easier to digest.
- Add some sweetness: Corn muffins are naturally sweet, but you can add some extra sweetness with honey, maple syrup, or sugar.
- Use a variety of spices: Corn muffins are a great way to use up spices that you have on hand. Try adding cinnamon, nutmeg, allspice, or ginger.
- Don't overmix the batter: Overmixing the batter will make the muffins tough. Mix just until the ingredients are combined.
- Bake the muffins at a high temperature: Baking the muffins at a high temperature will help them to rise and brown properly.
- Let the muffins cool before eating: Let the muffins cool for a few minutes before eating them. This will help them to set and make them easier to handle.
Conclusion:
Corn bran muffins are a delicious and nutritious breakfast or snack. They are easy to make and can be customized to your liking. With a few simple tips, you can make perfect corn bran muffins every time.
