  7. I made these wonderful muffins, and they are so delicious! So moist they almost fall apart. I did, however, substitute the cranberries for some fresh strawberries. I'll have to buy some cranberries and try them that way, too. So good, and good for you!
    Thank you for sharing the recipe!
    Blessings,

  8. I made these today and they are very yummy! I used 50/50 flour & oatmeal instead of the bran, added a bit of cinnamon to the topping and left out the pecans since I didn't have any. I will definitely make them again.
