Bran Muffins

This may not have been everyone's first pick at the Crop because it's not fancy but it is a delicious and easy to make muffin. Moist and tasty, this is my dog sitter's (Aunt Donna's) Number ONE request when I'm baking.

This recipe came from a Cookbook columist in the Brantford Expositor named Mary Moore many years ago. My mother had cut out dozens of recipes from this lady and they are always quite good. I think you'll enjoy these bran muffins.
