My sister Sarah introduced us to these delicious Bran Muffins over Conference weekend and they were an instant hit! I altered her recipe by cutting the sugar in half and substituting half wheat flour to make it more healthy and quite honestly, I like the flavor better anyway. I made a double batch with plans to freeze them, but all of us have been snacking on them so much that there are only a few left. These are definitely on our favorite list!
