Introduction
This is the blending of two of my favorite low calorie muffin recipes. I wanted something larger, more substantial, but didn't want to add too many more calories. These muffins are not too sweet, high in fiber, and practically fat free. For those counting WW PointsPlus, they are three WW PointsPlus. If you like a sweeter muffin, you may consider increasing the sugar or adding packets of your favorite sweetener. This is the blending of two of my favorite low calorie muffin recipes.

My daughter wanted bran muffins for her birthday in lieu of a cake. I followed the recipe except I used 1/2 c. whole wheat flour & 1/2 cup all purpose flour in place of 1 cup of all purpose flour. I also substituted chopped dates for raisons. I had to cook a longer than indicated, but they're GREAT! - 4/24/10

Takes way longer than the recipe says. I had to watch over them and do the toothpick test to determine when they were ready. Took about 20 minutes total. The muffins are very very moist b/c of the pumpkin. Also, Canadians should note that our All Bran has WAY more sodium in itthan this recipe states - 3/16/11

The dryer the carrot, the quicker they cook. Even the water content on the canned pumpkin will vary from can to can. On occasion, they take me a while, too.
