Bran Muffins

It is always amazing what memories pop into one's mind. Brian is trying to lower his cholesterol by increasing his fruit and vegetable intake along with increased fiber. Jill was making carrot vegan muffins. I remember my mom's bran muffins. She would make up a huge batch and keep the batter in the fridge. I have my mom's cookbooks so I went on the quest. I found the recipe typed on a 3x5 card titled Midred's Bran Muffins. Don't know who Midred was or perhaps it is Mildred. Anyway I made the muffins, substituting sour nonfat milk for buttermilk and 1/2 the flour with wholewheat flour, a little less sugar, added some dates and walnuts and baked a batch. Pretty tasty. But would have been much better warm out of the oven slathered in butter like we used to eat them.

As a footnote, not sure if Brian's cholesterol is lower, but he has lost weight...like he really needed to. Just not fair.

I will post the recipe if anyone wants it.
