To celebrate world baking day, I thought I’d share my bran muffin recipe.
This is the BEST bran muffin I’ve tasted…
I first learnt to make these in 1996. I was 22 years old and working as a temp – chief catering assistant in the kitchen for Telkom.
My very non exciting job basically meant that I got to bake muffins, stack store rooms, chop up food for the chef and dish up way too many meals for the Telkom staff in the cafeteria.
