    It was not a hit, even though I soaked the raisin bran first, the texture is pretty rough, I prefer the plain banana bread too lol. Next week is bran muffins, we'll see if mini chocolate chips brings them in...

    Too bad it didn't work out. I hope it works better next time.

    Maybe soak it in milk for a while first? I know it turns to mush in the cereal bowl after about 1/2 hr!
    Maybe use some of the milk from the recipe for that?
    I'm no cook though, so bad idea???

    Great idea! Actually I found that on the internet as a highly suggested tip, and did soak them, ~20 minutes (in some water). Maybe it was not long enough.

    I'll order some real bran flour from Amazon one of these days and bypass the raisin bran recipes, only using it because grocery stores here don't carry bran. Isn't that bizzarre?

    Edit, our Walmart does not carry it either. Wonder why?

    What if you put it in a ziplock bag and smash it to fine crumbs with a rolling pin? That way it would be a lot finer in texture. I have only ever used pure bran for any muffins I make. Up here it is called wheat bran - pure bran with no flour in it.

    Thanks WW :), I will try that, I just let them sit in water, gave them a stir then into the mix. It's been a couple decades but used to make bran muffins regularly and it was also pure bran. Like a 2lb bag or bigger. It was sold in the baking aisle right next to flour and sugar, still in disbelief. I have some in my cart at Amazon for next round. None now, crazy.
