About
Soaking the wheat bran in buttermilk prior to mixing the bran in the dry ingredients creates a lighter texture that is often lacking in other bran muffins.

I tried this recipe totally wheat-free, using spelt bran. It turned out beautifully, one of the best wheat-free muffins I have tried. I found the ingredient "3/4 package brown sugar" to be meaningless... what size of package? 1 pound? 2 pounds? a kilogram? ;-) I tried 1/2 cup and found it to be just enough, not too sweet. I also added 1/2 tsp. xanthan gum, as I usually do when baking with wheat-free flours. They turned out perfect, and i will be using this recipe again!
