These bran muffins are packed with healthy goodness. So moist and delicious, you won’t know you are eating a healthy muffin. Enjoy!
This recipe came about because my daughter, being away at college, wanted me to send her a “mom” care package. I sent her a bunch of things like nice warm sweaters and comfy slippers. I also threw in lots of gum and her favorite chocolate bars. So….. I had to send some of my goodies that were not only yummy but healthy as well. She loves my gluten free peanut butter cookies and a few others so that went in too. I thought this up while having coffee the other morning. It’s easy to make and has a nice amount of fiber and good carbs to keep her going with the late nights of studying. Give this recipe and try and hope you enjoy them. They are really delish!
