Mama Griggs’s Pumpkin Bran Muffins

Barbara had a special request to share these Mama Griggs’s Pumpkin Bran Muffins with chocolate chips from a former Glenwood Cooperative house mate at Purdue University.

The girls in her house used to call these “Polka Dot Muffins” because of the great pumpkin color and loads of chocolate chips.

This is one of those great mix everything together in one bowl recipes. Just grab a large mixing bowl and get started!

Be sure to grease the muffin tins well (or use liners).

What makes these muffins a bit different than others out there is that they include a cup of all-bran cereal.

Barbara says that alone makes them “healthy” and is a great excuse to eat two muffins!

If you don’t have any all-bran cereal in the house, try this version of Pumpkin Chocolate Chip Muffins.
