In Pembina, North Dakota, Alyce Wyman bakes up these moist muffins with a sweet nut topping. "The original recipe called for bran cereal with raisins," she says. "But I was out of that cereal one day, so I used plain bran flakes and added blueberries instead of raisins. Now I always make it this way."
