Can we call it an everything muffin? Even Ed thought these were good. That means they're like super awesome. The inspiration came as I was wandering through whole foods after a particularly long and painful run, wondering what I wanted for dinner. That could possibly be the most dangerous thing you can possibly do after running, because you get home and wonder why the heck you bought so many groceries. But I somehow ended up with a giant bag of organic bran flakes, and so I decided to experiment with bran muffins. Contrary to what I had previously thought, bran muffins are good! Especially if you add maple syrup and walnuts, its tough to go wrong. These muffins stayed moist, which I think is due to the applesauce and bananas. Anyway:
2.5C flour
1C bran
1 tbs baking powder
2 tsp salt
1/4C brown sugar
1/2C walnuts
2 mushed up bananas
2/3C applesauce
3/4C unflavored yogurt
1 tbs oil
1 egg
1/4C maple syrup
Mix together all of the dry ingredients. Add the walnuts. In a separate bowl, add the wet ingredients (including bananas). Mix this up well. Then, add the wet stuff to the dry stuff and mix it as little as possible. Bake at 400 F until done.

tasty and healthy muffins
Thank you! If you liked these, I thought the whole-wheat-honey muffins were quite similar, although best if eaten within a day or two of baking, due to their low fat content.
