Strawberry Rhubarb Bran Muffins
This week’s recipe for Strawberry Rhubarb Bran Muffins is a novel variation on a bran muffin.
I have been baking this version for eons and it never fails to get compliments.
These muffins are delicious for breakfast, brunch, with coffee, or afternoon tea.
The recipe appeared years ago in a complimentary magazine that was mailed to Canadians, called “Recipes Only”.
It is quick and easy to make, and if you freeze the muffins, you only need to pop one in the microwave for a few seconds to reheat at a later date.
Be prepared for your senses to be stimulated by the most mouth watering aroma. Brew a cuppa and enjoy warm.

Is the all bran required for this recipe the breakfast cereal (All-Bran where the cereal peices look like sticks)or something more “flour-like” (like Bob’s Red Mill Wheat or Oat Bran)?
Hello Jenn, The bran used in this recipe is natural raw wheat bran — Bob’s Red Mill Wheat bran is one brand.
I LOVE rhubarb & strawberries. To put these two together in this muffin recipe is amazing. You’re recipe was so easy to follow & I loved all the tips. They were so moist & so delicious….thank you, this is a keeper!
Its good to know you have success with these muffins, Sabrina. They are a favorite at our house.
These are delicious, I used coconut oil, which caused an issue when adding to oats and yogurt, it hardened, so I then had to mix in the mixer to soften, so I’ll do that differently next time. But definitely a keeper!
Thanks, Laurie! These are one of my favorites, too!
