Apple Oat Bran Muffins
   #66903
 Summer (California) says:
These were really good! I used a small handful of dried cranberries along with the apple. I didn't have any bran on hand so I soaked the same amount of bran flakes in the buttermilk ahead of time so they dissolved and then continued with the directions. I like that there was a little sugar in these since most of the recipes didn't have any and reviewers said they were flavorless and too salty. The apples added some sweetness too (I used granny smith).

These were beautiful and we felt good eating them too. Making them again for my ten year old. (I added walnuts)

 Clare (Germany) says:
They were very good. I did add 1/4 teaspoon ginger and 1/4 teaspoon nutmeg because I'm a spice addict, and I chopped up 3/4 cup pecans and threw them in as well. I also substituted 2 T Splenda for half the brown sugar and used dark brown sugar for the rest. I used a Pink Lady apple, for what it's worth. They were perfect breakfast muffins, hearty and not too sweet. Even my husband wolfed them down, and he's a fast-food fiend! (I didn't tell him about the Splenda.)
