Chef Catherine’s notes:

  • This recipe makes 18-20 muffins.
  • The dried fruit and nuts can be substituted for any kind you prefer, apricots and dates also work well with this recipe.
  • I always use dark brown sugar, it creates a beautiful flavour (treacle, demerara or muscovado can be used).
  • The Nutty wheat flour gives this Bran Muffins Recipe its unique texture, as opposed to using actual Bran.
