High-rising, and definitely picture-pretty. I found these to be a bit dense, though. I think they might be better if you substitute some of the applesauce (maybe 1/2 cup?) with buttermilk or milk. Not dry, but not very moist either. I resisted an urge to add some raisins or some flavoring (like vanilla extract or cinnamon) because I hoped that the honey flavor would show through, but it didn't really. I think these would be good if you like your muffins split and buttered. Overall, an okay recipe for bran muffins, but certainly not the best.

My most important characteristic is this: I am a child of God through the gracious work of Jesus Christ!
I love to be with my family and friends. Interests? Writing, reading, cooking, dancing, teaching, splashing in puddles...I am an English teacher, wannabe children's author, and a bit of a health nut...and I can't stand high pitched squeaky noises.
