Some people take issue with shortcuts. I’m not one of those people – and I love a good bran muffin. A few years back I got this idea to “soup up” a package of muffin mix and see how they turned out. I’ve been making these wonderful Quick ‘N Tasty Apple Bran Muffins ever since.

But you owe it to yourself to give these a try, too! 🙂
All ya gotta have to make these are a package of Martha White Honey Bran Mix, milk, butter, and an apple.
Melt your butter and place that in a bowl along with your milk.
Add in your mix and stir that up until it is moistened.
Peel your apple and chop it kindly fine.
My Grandmama always used to say “kindly” in place of “kind of”. Makes me smile when I say it that way.
Add in your apple and stir that again, too.
Spoon muffin mix into greased muffin tin. Bake at 425 for 12-15 minutes.
Allow to cool a few minutes before removing from pan and enjoy!
Now, eat ’em! 🙂

These are the best muffins (not to mention they are bran) I’ve ever had. They melt in your mouth! Who’d have known they were bran muffins!
These are the best muffins I’ve ever had. I now make them once a week!
Oh, my Gosh! I have LOVED Martha White Honey Bran Muffin Mix for years, but have not been able to find it in any store in the southeast!!! I used to add a little brown sugar, raisins and walnuts to the mix and make muffins to die for for breakfasts on the go! After repeatedly checking EVERY grocery store within a hundred mile radius, I finally went to Walmart,com and ordered the mix. Oh Joy! I’m waiting for it to arrive tomorrow! I thought that I might be the only person who loved this muffin mix and am SO glad to know that I am not alone!
You are definitely not alone 🙂 and I am so glad you were able to find it!!
