Personal Notes:
These great muffins are not only delicious, but are full of healthy bran and carrots. They are very moist, unlike some bran muffins you can barely swallow. They freeze well and if you take one out of the freezer the night before, you'll have the perfect "breakfast to go" in the morning!
