Made with oat bran, these muffins are a great breakfast-to-go and a dandy treat with a cup of tea. Don' expect them to last long when you bake them. In fact, they may not even have a chance to get cold!

Oat Bran Blessings

Oat bran is the outermost layer of the oat kernel. Not only is it a rich source of B complex vitamins, protein, minerals, and heart healthy soluble fiber, it helps to lower blood cholesterol levels, possibly reducing the risk of heart attacks. It helps the body use insulin more efficiently — a huge asset in controlling diabetes.
