Dear Uncle Phaedrus,
I buy these delicious honey raisin bran muffins from Ralph's
grocery store, which is part of the Kroger chain.
Here is a link to them: https://www.ralphs.com/p/bakery-fresh-honey-raisin-bran-muffins/0001111007296
The ingredients are listed in the link.
I am looking for a copycat recipe for these. I emailed the store
but they would not share any information.
These muffins are soft and cake-like in texture, not dense or heavy.
That's what makes them different.
I've searched for similar recipes and have tried a few, but they don't
have the right texture.
I'd really appreciate your help, thank you very much!
Michelle
Hello Michelle,
Not unexpectedly, I had no success finding a recipe or a copycat for Ralph's muffins. I did find several recipes for raisin bran muffins or honey raisin bran muffins that you might be able to adapt into a copycat. However, you'll have to try them to see. I did not find any claiming to be "taste-likes" for Ralphs, and I cannot search by texture.
