Bran Muffins

Not sure why, but I find it slightly amusing that I did not know what went into bran muffins. What IS bran exactly? Husband, ever the encyclopedia, came to the rescue. Off to New Seasons Market we went, kids to tow, to the bulk section to ferret out Bran. Light and fluffy stuff, who knew?

To put it respectfully, the baby has been having some #2 issues lately and I wanted to do what I could to remedy the situation naturally, rather than medically. Plus, who can resist a muffin. You can always count me in when good food is involved. I took the basic Bran Muffin recipe from The Best Recipe. Based on the comment from a reader on my Buttermilk Muffin post, I felt confident that this was the muffin book for me. Been on a bit of a muffin kick, lately. No, no muffins were ACTUALLY kicked.

Not much to say about the recipe. Hard to screw up a muffin, isn't it? I followed the recipe to the letter and the muffins turned out beautifully. All were eaten dutifully by the family. The baby enjoyed them most specifically, but alas, the disired affect was not forth comming. Made the rest of us pretty, um, regular, though.
