Cooking Tips

Variations:

  • Replace the raisins with an equal amount of chopped dates for delicious date bran muffins.
  • Replace the raisins with dried cranberries for a wonderful taste treat. A great combination is cranberries and blueberries. Use fresh or frozen blueberries and mix them with the flour so they don't sink to the bottom of the muffins.
  • Add 1/2 cup apple sauce for extra moisture and sweeetness.


The chopped walnuts add crunch and extra nutrition. Look here for information about why walnuts are one of our 10 healthiest foods.
