I use this recipe but vary it to suit what I have on hand.

Spiced sultana bran muffins.

1 cup flour
1 tsp baking powder
1/2 tsp salt
2 tsp mixed spice
1 1/2 cups wheat bran
1/4 cup sugar
1 tsp baking soda
1 cup milk (approx)
1 Tbsp melted butter
1 Tbsp golden syrup, melted
1 egg, beaten
1/2-1 cup sultanas
Pre heat oven to 220c
Combine all dry ingredients (except BSoda) in a bowl
Dissolve Baking soda in milk, add egg, golden syrup and butter
Pour liquid into dry and stir quickly until just combined
Spoon into muffin tins and bake 12-15 mins, Makes 12
I vary this recipe as follows:
-Replace sultanas with mashed banana or grated apple
-Use different spices eg cinnamon
-Replace egg with a scoop of yoghurt
-Leave out sugar if using banana or apple

In a saucepan warm 1/4 cup golden syrup
Whisk in

Just reduce the amount of sugar in your recipe. I do this to all my recipes now and have never had a problem.

Yes that's what I was thinking but will try the recipes above, I can heat the golden syrup in the microwave

If you have a good recipe, just half the sugar

I may be reading this incorrectly, but I hope you are not thinking that golden syrup is not sugar. It is made from sugar.

Mine is pretty much the same as "johnnythecat" except I put apple, banana, sultanas & walnuts into all of mine and double the recipe. They don't hang around long as my family love them.
