APPLE BRAN MUFFINS



Apple Bran Muffins image

This is a nice change from a plain bran muffin. It's somewhat healthier, because it's made with yogurt. I always double the cinnamon sugar on top (personal preference). Sometimes I add some chopped pecans (or walnuts). Don't let the long list of ingredients scare you - these come together fast.

REFRIGERATOR APPLE BRAN MUFFINS



Refrigerator Apple Bran Muffins image

I made these at the request of my oldest granddaughter who likes healthy food. Even though these may be put in the refrigerator for up to two weeks, you may bake them all at once and freeze them. They are so moist and good. Very healthy as they are lower in fat than some and eggs whites are used in place of the whole eggs. They make about 24 muffins.
