Fruited Wheat Bran Muffins
These classic bran muffins get their nutty, rich taste from All-Bran® cereal and a hint of spice from cinnamon and nutmeg. Applesauce keeps the tender batter moist, while chopped walnuts and dried fruit add chewy, sweet depth to these individual quick breads. Great for breakfast or as an afternoon snack.
