Apple Blueberry Bran Muffins

Breakfast, Snacks.
Bran muffins have never tasted so good!  These dense muffins, packed with blueberries and apples, make for a healthy breakfast or mid-day snack.  Other fresh or frozen berries work just as well as blueberries – try raspeberries or sliced strawberries.
