So in an effort to put healthier carbs in my diet, I made these bran muffins the other day, and they turned out SO GOOD that I wanted to share the recipe with you. :D I found a classic bran muffin recipe online, then read through the comments for people's modifications and used the ones that sounded good to me. Here's the final recipe. It's full of whole grains and has virtually no fat!
