LOW FAT APPLE BRAN MUFFINS
I like to snack on these muffins, they're good, and they're healthy too. Add more sugar if you want it to be sweeter, since these muffins aren't very sweet. Be careful with the milk, sometimes it can be too moist, but you'll just have to bake it for a longer period of time.

Tips:

- For a sweeter muffin, add 1/4 cup of sugar to the batter. You can also add 1/2 cup of chopped dried apricots for a more intense apricot flavor.
- If you don't have a muffin tin, you can bake your muffins in a 9x13 inch baking pan. Just increase the baking time to 30-35 minutes.
- These muffins are best served warm from the oven. However, you can also store them in an airtight container at room temperature for up to 3 days.
