Heritage Recipe

Best Ever Bran Muffins

It is my pleasure to share this heritage recipe with other Moms who love to bake for their family. This is recipe was given to me in 1957 by my husband's grandmother, "Bobo". Jack couldn't say grandma; it came out Bobo and this special name stuck to a very special lady who lived to be 97 and was loved by everyone. This was a school morning favorite for my three children. The wonderful oven-baked aroma filled the house and they couldn't wait to get to the kitchen. One sure way to get the kids up and going on a school morning.
