The following recipe was my creation. I like bran muffins that aren't as heavy and dense as a brick and these definitely meet the requirement. When I made them the first time my husband told me to throw the rest of the bran muffin recipes that I had collected away and make these instead.

Combine the following in a blender and process until smooth. Then fold into above.

1/4 cup canola oil -- You can use apple sauce here to reduce fat.
Add to batter:
3/4 cup apple -- shredded, or pineapple, drained
3/4 cup carrot -- shredded

NOTES :
Try adding 1/4 cup ground flax seed and 1 1/2 cups bran flakes instead of the 1 3/4 cup bran flakes.
Original recipe contained an additional 1/4 cup of granulated sugar but I thought they were a little sweet.
