Best Bran Muffins
These have become a staple around here -- usually Tim makes a batch on the weekend. They don't last long.
Thought you might like to give them a try!
Last weekend he made them with rhubarb, since we're pulling it out of the garden by the bucketful.
I think my favorite version is with chopped dates. The kids love them all the time.
