An easy and versatile bran muffin that is healthy, LOW CALORIE, and so delicious!

This muffin batter stays in the refrigerator for 2 weeks! You can bake as many muffins you want, when you want!

Do different things with them!

I love them plain, or sometimes I add whatever I feel like that morning. Into each muffin you can add a few raisins, berries, chocolate chips, chopped apples, nuts, dates, dried fruit. Whatever your heart desires!

So for 2 weeks you can make a big variety of bran muffins and eat healthy!

Here is a great hint for baking really high muffins, any flavor, any recipe!  Preheat your oven to 400º or 425º. Bake your muffins at this high heat for 8 minutes, then lower the heat to whatever temperature your recipe says. Do this for every muffin recipe you have and you will get nice looking, high-top muffins!  The extra high temperature at the beginning causes the top part of the muffin batter to rise first. This hint is tried and true by me and it really does work!

One plain refrigerator bran muffin is just 95 calories! A few additions to each muffin is not going to bring up the calories much at all!

Enjoy!
