Flax Seed-Bran Muffins image

These are low-fat and low-sugar, which is good for us diabetics. I use a little real sugar with the Splenda, because the texture turns out better, and my blood-sugar levels are under control, but some diabetics may want to use a cup of Splenda and no brown sugar. (or use Splenda Brown Sugar Blend-I have never used it so don't know the proportions)
