APPLESAUCE RAISIN BRAN MUFFINS
I checked and while I found many bran muffin recipes here, none were quite like this. I like this one not only because it is lower fat, but because it doesn't have as much added sugar, and it relies on the cereal more than the flour to make the batter. The muffins themselves are surprisingly moist and light in texture. I like the light sweetness of these and the crunchy muffin tops. (If you sprinkle a little extra cereal on top, they get an even better crunch, and improved appearance.) I found this recipe at www.mealsmatter.org. Watch these since the recipe stated they should bake in 20 minutes, but I found mine were done after about 15.

I found this in a old cookbook and love how it keeps in the fridge for fresh muffins when you want them. The longer the batter sits, the tastier the muffins! My kids can make these on their own for a snack or a warm quick breakfast in the morning!
