Addictive Pumpkin Muffins
Very yummy! I only used 1 c. sugar though and it was still sweet, especially with the applesauce and raisins. I also added 1/4 flax for extra fiber, and used one cup of bran, one cup of white flour and the rest whole wheat. I don't think these changes (other than the sugar) made much a difference in the flavor of these original muffins. They were really good and I will definitely make them again!

Low-Fat Blueberry Bran Muffins
I made a double batch to give some away. I added some flax and millet to give a little extra crunch and used egg whites to lower calories, but changed nothing to alter flavor. Super healthy and yummy warm with a little butter. Will definitely make again.
