Many years ago, I was employed in the Kitchen for Telkom. My position was chief catering assistant and the truth is I mostly stocked ingredients into the store room and spent my day helping the chef to prepare the many meals that flowed through the canteen.
I wont lie, it was hard word and very uninspiring! However, I did walk away after 6 months with the best muffin and banana bread recipes…so, it wasn’t all that bad.
The muffin recipe especially,is one I use regularly, and I love to add my own little extras like banana or raisins.
( The trick to adding fruit to your muffin mix is to add just a little do that the fruit doesn’t consume the recipe but rather compliments it)
Today, I wanted to share the BEST bran muffin recipe that I’ve ever tasted with you, and you can download my recipe card with the link at the bottom.
