How to make perfect bran muffins!

One of the best ways to start off your day is with a cup of hot coffee and a bran muffin.  Bran muffins are a healthier alternative to other muffin types as they are a good source of fibre that your body needs.  Apart from that, I think they are the tastiest type of muffin that you get.  Once you have baked a batch, it is quick and easy to just grab one on your way out if you're in a rush in the morning.  For delicious, light and fluffy bran muffins, try the recipe below from Food24.com:
