The Healthiest Bran Muffins You'll Ever Eat image

I've looked all over for inspiration! When my mother was in the hospital for by-pass surgery, I picked up a handout for heart healthy bran muffins. It became the basis for this recipe, but I've added a number of very healthy additions. Customize this as you wish: choose different nuts, add raisins, dates, dried apricots... make them your own!

I've tried many bran muffin recipes, but this is by far the best. The muffins are light and fluffy, with a perfect balance of sweetness and bran flavor.
