Muffins

I am still not sleeping well, which is nothing new. This morning having read the paper before dawn,  worked out,  and processed the office payroll, I was hungry. So why not make some bran muffins?

 I have been tweaking this recipe for years, and I think I finally have it where I want it. Although I may have to add Nicole's enticing recipe for bran muffins to my repertoire. Try them both and see what you think.

With a smear of cream cheese and a dollop of homemade fig jam
