Healthy Bran Muffin Recipe: Kellogg’s All-Bran Cereal
Make this healthy bran muffin recipe with Kellogg’s All-Bran cereal. These easy bran muffins make a great choice for breakfast or for a snack!
A Healthy Bran Muffin Recipe
This healthy bran muffin recipe ended up being quite a pleasant surprise…because at first I really had my doubts! I promised to find some nutritious, low-calorie recipes for you…but the honest truth is that it’s been a challenge. My brain just doesn’t wrap around a muffin with no butter or oil! Seriously, these easy all-bran muffins are hearty and filling. They are not overly sweet, but the texture really makes up for that. I used pomegranate Craisins instead of raisins and that helps to add a burst of extra sweetness to these bran muffins.Â
Easy Bran Muffins
Kellogg’s All-Bran cereal comes in these little buds and they work great in recipes. The batter isn’t thick, so it’s very easy to pour into the muffin cups. I had enough batter to fill the cups almost to the rim. I’m not sure what it would do to the calorie count, but I’m pretty sure you could substitute oatmeal for the all-bran, as well as whole wheat flour for the white flour. This is a great healthy bran muffin recipe to use as a base, and add ingredients that you have on hand or that you know your family likes.Â

It felt very good to be in my kitchen with these bran muffins baking in the oven. Like many times before, I read your comments on my last post through tears. Many of you have been in my shoes and I can’t tell you how comforting it is to know that I’m not alone. Even though things around here are sometimes out of sorts, I have pieces of days that feel normal. Those pieces are because of this blog and all of you. My heart is filled with gratitude.
I’ll see you soon…

I made a few changes but overall really good base muffin recipe for using bran flakes!
made them as mini muffins
rolled oats instead of craisins or raisins
multi bran flakes instead of all bran flakes
1 banana instead of applesauce
Chopped walnuts instead of almonds
Unsweetened Almond milk instead of skim milk
Added 3/4 c frozen blueberries
The only issue was my own doing which is the blueberries being a little wet since I made them from frozen. I still havent been able to make blueberry muffins without this happening w my frozen blueberries every single time! Any advice?? Must I use fresh instead of frozen?
After my changes I would say these muffins are a bit overly sweet to me but thats because I added the banana which is way sweeter than applesauce and the bran flakes had some added sweetener. So in the future I would probably half the brown sugar if using banana instead of applesauce.
Thank you :)
Oh an I used whole wheat pastry flour instead of all purpose flour
I made these muffins and added one ripe banana and a 1/2 cup of miniature chocolate chips instead of nuts !!! They are amazing :)
Healthy, easy and delicious recipe. Thank you for sharing it.
Do you have nutrition facts for the Healthy Bran MuffinRecipe with Kellog’s All Bran
i.e, calories, saturated fat, carbs.
Hi Shirley…I’m sorry it took me so long but I calculated the nutrition facts. Thanks for your patience!
I loved this recipe.
I made this recipe twice with homemade sugar free applesauce (it has a natural sweetness). I didn’t add any nuts and did add craisens. The second time I accidentally left out all of the brown sugar and honestly they tasted better without the sugar!!! I was quite surprised.
Thank you for sharing your tweaks…intentional or not!
HI These are perfect for my little one who needs a fibre snack t combat the side effects of her medication. Can you provide the carbohydrate content so that I know how much insulin to give.
Many thanks
Jacky
Excellent recipe!
Sorry, this recipe was not palatable. The two teaspoons of baking soda must be wrong. You can taste baking soda in the end product. Perhaps one teaspoon baking powder and one teaspoon baking soda? I’ve never seen a muffin recipe with two teaspoons baking soda. A slight change might make these much better without compromising healthiness.
Not good
I’m sorry you didn’t like the muffins…they are definitely not for everyone!
Great recipe. Used almond milk instead of regular. Used original bran not buds and added a combination of raisins and dried cranberries.
I made these today and they are quite good. I used the cranberry Craisins. Thanks for the recipe.
My favorite bran muffin! I don’t add the fruit and nuts but I love the recipe!
You were very nice to get back to me, Ann. Don’t worry about it; it’s one of those things that’s nice but like I said, I can tell by the recipe that as long as you didn’t sit down and eat five of them at one time, it would be very healthy! Have a great day!

I’d love to see the nutritional values of this recipe. I’m sure it’s very healthy; I noticed that it is much less sugar than other recipes and I like the addition of the applesauce unsweetened. I am going to try this. I eat All-Bran bran cereal but it takes a lot of moral fiber to face a bowl of it daily. My husband said it looked like horsefeed. Lol
Hi Denise…I’m sorry but my recipe card doesn’t calculate the nutritional values. There’s quite a hefty fee for that and since I don’t exclusively post recipes, I felt it was an expense I could do without. If possible, I try to calculate the calories myself…but sometimes the serving size variation makes it hard. I’ll work on that though!
I’m going to buy some All Bran this week and try this recipe. Do you think frozen blueberries would be good in these muffins?
Yes I think blueberries would be delicious! Before you put them in the batter, very lightly toss them in flour so they don’t fall to the bottom of your muffins.
Calorie count?
How many calorues. Great muffins
Ann… these muffins are similar to my gramma’s recipe and brings back lots of memories. Without the raisins and almonds, they are only 3 Weight Watchers points! If you add carrots or apples, no extra points! Bonus! Love that…and can’t wait to make them. Thank you!
Thank you so much for this recipe. I have only just found you and it would appear you have just experienced some very rotten luck. I am so sorry but I thank you a thousand times for the recipe I have been looking for this one for ages!
Awesome love bran muffin recipe ♥️ Thanks for sharing a keeper
Ann, I love your blog, but I wanted to let you know that the Easy Bran Muffins are not 1 point on weight watchers. I have been making them a few months now for my husband and we both love them. I recently joined weight watchers, again, on smart points this time, so of course I had to check to make sure the points were correct. To my dismay, the muffin is 5 smart points. Just wanted you to know!
How do you know the muffins are 5 points?
Hello! The other reader, Vanita, said she checked the points. Things have changed again though with the new Freestyle program. To make things easier, I’ve just removed the points value from the recipe. Thank you!
I’m just seeing this comment because someone emailed me with a question…thank you for letting me know. I recently got reacquainted with smart points when I downloaded the WW app on my phone. Now that they’ve gone to Freestyle, it’s not as easy for me. Anyway, thank you again!
Thanks for the muffin recipe,i love muffins to eat in the mornings and these sound wonderful, thanks Ann.
Dear Ann,
I LOVE EVERYTHING you post, and the best thing I’ve done with Pinterest is subscribe to your sight! Thank you for your beautiful suggestions, your wonderful healthy recipes, (as well as not so healthy, but oh so delicious recipes!), and simply sharing yourself with all us who follow you!

Hello Ann,
