I sure hope someone answers your question. YUMMY

Me too. Still waiting!

DH thought the bran muffins were wonderful. We had just gone in to grab a quick snack when a random cruiser came up and actually put one on DH's plate and said "You have to try these bran muffins." So funny.

LOL, hilarious! (sounds a lot like me!)

I'm hoping someone will post the recipe so I can make them!!!

Here is the only thing I have found searching.

 

This is from 2008 and written by a lady on a RCCL ship.

 

Just type in RCCL Bran Muffin recipe and it should come up on the same page as mine did.

 

Dear Colleen -

 

I am currently on a RCI cruise aboard Monarch of the Seas and have been in search of the bran muffin recipe since my family's first cruise with RCI in 2004.

 

Below is a report of my progress thus far. If you would like further information about the "muffin mix, fiber nugget" please me know, and I will provide such information to you as soon as I receive it.

 

Sincerely - PAS

After setting out feelers/requests with numerous crew members as I searched for the recipe yesterday, I finally hit paydirt with Sammy McField last night at dinner. Sammy is Monarch of the Seas' headwaiter, is from Honduras, and has been with the ship since it launched in '91, having started as a dishwasher and working his way to the top of the ladder. An amazing success story and a really great guy!

 

Sammy gave me a copy of the bran muffin recipe (transcribed below), but it was disappointing to learn that the key ingredient is "Muffin Mix, Fiber Nugget" (without specifying the mix's blend or brand). Talking with Sammy about it thereafter, he is going to look at the muffin-mix packaging to gather the information that I would need to purchase or blend the mix myself. (He confirmed this promise today at lunch, and I am going to get his email address to follow up on this, if it is not wrapped up by the end of the cruise.)

 

Anyway, in case I lose the piece of paper that Sammy gave me with the receipe on it, here it is:

 

BRAN MUFFIN - RCI

 

15 pounds Muffin Mix, Fiber Nugget

4 1/2 pounds eggs, liquid

4 1/2 pounds vegetable oil

6 pounds water

 

Combine all ingredients to a batch. two minutes on slow speed, four minutes on second speed.

This is all there is to the recipe also. It seems that no one can find the

“Muffin Mix, Fiber Nugget” except in 50 lb bags.

I can not find the rest of her recipe?

for a conversion for a home baker? We usually don't measure eggs, oil and water in pounds.

Wow, those muffins must be good if you bought a 50lb bag of the mix!

It is the Krustez brand of Oat Bran Muffin mix. It is not available in our area so I ordered it online from this web site. http://mybrands.com/Product.aspx?pid=546

 

It is the same as a crew member told me what brand of mix. I was a bit disappointed when I saw how many fat grams were in it as I had hoped it would be healthier. Oh well I love them enough to eat them anyway!

Fat grams don't count on a cruise! Diet the rest of the year.

[KAWS]

I think Quaker makes a low fat one like this. Wonder how they would taste using that. I like the idea of using a quick mix and then just enhancing it with the Ezekial. That stuff is really good!

That's my theory and I'm stickin' to it!!!!!!!!!!!!!!:D

That, and I don't eat for the 2 weeks before the cruise! LOL

[truffles2]

What is Ezekiel cereal?:eek: Never heard of it...but then I don't eat much cereal.

[Brerpossum]

Oh Yum Yum, I can't wait until our next cruise.

[cruiselife4me]

I was just salivating over those bran muffins! When I cruised with a friend, we had them every morning with bacon and fruit. YUM! I swear I'm taking a picture of it before I eat it!!

[grand isle joe]

You know that bran muffins are banned on all Carnival cruise ships. They are afraid of another power outage and....you know......overflowing the waste system prematurely.......:D

Check Post #9 where the recipe is given. It mentions Ezekial or Grape Nuts cereal which leads me to assume that the two are very similar.:)

Anyone sailed recently or currently sailing that has noticed a difference in the bran muffins? Just curious if it is all ships or just AD. They say they have changed contracts and have a different dough. It doesn't have the same taste and is crunchy. Just curious if other ships are experiencing this also.

We were on Allure in November 2013 and the bran muffins I had seemed pretty much the same as on other ships/sailings.

THe bran muffins are good on all ships. I always have one in the AM. with a little butter

They were always one of my favorite things on any RC ship. They were fantastic as recently as Aug sailing. This last week they have not been good on AD so that is why I was wondering if the batter/recipe has changed fleet wide or if it is only AD. Anyone that has sailed in last month or so noticed anything different with the bran muffins?
