buttermilk raisin bran muffins

These muffins are delicious. They are sweet without adding sugar. I substituted 1/2 cup applesauce for oil and 1/4 cup egg substitute for egg. This is a NO butter needed recipe. Loved them.

Super easy and so good! I added one and a half cups of finely chopped apples and 1/2 cup of chopped dates for even more flavor and fiber. These disappear so fast the only suggestion that really helps is to double or triple the recipe!!!--Vicki, Murphy NC

Buttermilk Raisin Bran Muffins

This is a great recipe! I absolutely LOVE these muffins - they don't taste 'healthy' at all! My husband eats them, friends will eat them - they are just great!
