Bran Muffins

Apparently I'm not going to be one of those 'post every day' type bloggers. Sorry! Life somehow always seems to get busy.

I make the muffins frequently and eat them for my snack during my break at work, I really enjoy them and it's a bit of a relief to enjoy some baking of my own in the midst of all the baking I'm surrounded by at work! I make a big batch and freeze them. Even my husband gives these his stamp of approval!
