My Best Friends Muffins

hillbean's Note:

My girlfriend & I were looking for a bran muffin recipe and she came up with one similar to this. After making a few changes viola... success. My daughter has allergies so I substitute an egg replacer for the egg and vanilla soy milk for the skim. She just loves them, hope you do too.
