Bran Muffins

I cleaned and sorted my pantry. It looks so nice! There was an old-ish box of Kellogg's All Bran, so I decided to make bran muffins, which is the only reason it would be in there in the first place.

Bran muffins were one of Eric's favorite foods as a very small boy. (It amazes me that was so long ago, but that's another story altogether. ) He loved to break his muffin into pieces and dip them in applesauce, which got spread all over the tray of his high chair.

That's nice for a toddler, but I like mine with marmalade, jam, or (in a splurge) real maple syrup. Nothing like taking a fairly healthy food and adding empty calories.
