My wife calls them the Best ever. They actually come from her teen years and a neighbor she had in Naperville, Illinois, Kathy Lee. Even if you're not a fan of bran, I'd invite you to try these. I used a stand mixer to make mine, but feel free to use a hand mixer if that's what you've got. Let's get to it!

That's it. I like mine with some butter on it. My wife likes them as is. You do you. And make sure to use baking soda.
In the video, I used baking powder and ended up having to make a second batch. There was quite a difference. Lesson learned. Enjoy!
