Super Moist Bran Muffins

These Buttermilk Bran Muffins are great breakfast muffins to serve with coffee and some fruit. Drizzle honey on top! Buttermilk and Apple Butter are my secret flavor weapons not only for amazing flavor but they keep these moist and tender! A great Mimi's Cafe copycat recipe.

Notes

  • I like to make my own apple butter, but feel free to buy 10 ounce jars found in the cooking and jam aisle at your local market - use 3/4 of a cup.
