BRAN AND CHIA MUFFINS



Bran and Chia Muffins image

These moist, hearty muffins have great texture because of the slight crunch that the chia seeds contribute. They're not very sweet, and they crumble a little bit even thought they're moist; add a little more sweetener if you want more of a treat. I think they taste best a day after you bake them.
