Tips and Variations:

• The secret to great tender muffins is to mix the dry ingredients and the wet ingredients well separately, but once you put the wet ingredients into the dry, stir to mix just until the dry ingredients are moistened. Over mixing will give you a heavier, less tender muffin.
• Omit the blueberries and add 1 medium apple, peeled and chopped, plus ½ teaspoon of cinnamon to turn this treat into a delicious oat bran apple muffin recipe.
• To make this oat bran blueberry muffin recipe into apricot oat muffins, omit the blueberries and add 1 cup of chopped dried apricots. Soften in warm water before adding to the mix for added tenderness.
