I’ve been trying a lot of bran muffins lately at Panera and other coffee shops. I feel like they are better for you, but they probably aren’t. So I decided to try making my own. Ryan assures me they are absolutely delicious, but I think they could be a little sweeter. I doubled the recipe to make 24 muffins.
