If you’re looking to use up a half cup of cottage cheese or just like good, soft, jumbo bran muffins, here’s a recipe for Cottage Cheese Bran Muffins. I’m very happy with how these turned out and am adding the recipe to my always-growing collection of bran muffins.<\/p>\n

\"Texture<\/figure>\n

Soften the Bran in Liquid<\/h2>\n

This recipe starts by softening the bran with a little liquid, which in this case is coffee. You could also use juice, tea or just plain water. Softening the bran hydrates it so that it won’t pull as much moisture from the batter.This is supposed to create a muffin with a softer interior, and I believe it really does. The cottage cheese helps too, of course. <\/p>\n

What Happens to the Curds?<\/h2>\n

As for the cottage cheese, it adds more bulk, moisture and a little protein. When you first stir it into the batter you will see all the little white dots of curd. But unlike in the Cottage Cheese Cookies<\/a>, most or all of the curds disappear into the muffin. <\/p>\n

Jumbo Muffin Tins<\/h2>\n

So these are jumbo muffins made in jumbo muffin tins<\/a>. You can line them with paper liners or grease them. For this last batch I used my 2 x 1 \u00be inch glassine baking liners<\/a> which I love because they fit into standard size muffin pans and jumbo pans. I ordered these glassine liners in bulk, paid the Webstaurant shipping and have been using them for years now. I haven’t seen this exact size on Amazon, but if you spot it please let me know.<\/p>\n
