What type of bran is used
for bran muffins?
Q: Dear Hope, This may be a silly question....but
I have yet to find anyone that knows the answer. Bran or Honey
Bran muffin recipes call for either 'bran' or 'wheat bran' as
an ingredient. The only type of bran that I can find at any store
is Oat Bran or Oats. Is this what the recipe really wants? There
does not seem to be a bran or wheat bran ingredient at any of
the normal or health food stores. Thanks for any help you can
give. Jacqueline
A: Hi Jacqueline, With recipes, the rule-of-thumb
regarding bran (when unspecified), is that it is almost always
wheat bran. You can find wheat bran on the cereal aisle, just
look for 100% bran flakes or buds cereal. It can be confusing
sometimes...you were probably looking sensibly on the aisle where
the whole grains and flours are kept!
