Pumpkin Bran Muffins

This is how I cool my muffins, how do you cool your muffins?

Pumpkin and Chocolate Chip Muffins are one of my favorites!

I like to cut the amount of  to half the sugar and fat content of muffin recipes, so this recipe already reflects this reduction. There is no compromise to texture or taste doing so. This recipe makes 3 dozen muffins, perfect to stock up the freezer for sending lunch along to work or school.
