A plain old and easy bran muffin recipe, great for breakfast or a mid-afternoon snack.
Wheat bran is high in dietary fiber and so helps to keep the body’s elimination system in good working order.

- 1 cup flour
- 3 t baking powder
- 1/4 cup sugar

Vegan Bran Muffin Tweak
This recipe is easily made vegan by substituting 1 T flax + 3 T water for the egg (mix together and let sit for 5 minutes or so to thicken before adding to the recipe), 1 cup unsweetened almond or soy milk for the regular milk, and 2 tablespoons of coconut oil for the butter.
