Raisin Bran Cherry Muffins

Eating a healthy breakfast is imperative to a good weight-control regime, as every health nut or guru will tell you. I am a firm believer, based on personal experiences and what better way than to make breakfast interesting? Having said this, it is not an easy task since it is generally on-the-go and the least elaborate of all meals. A great muffin recipe is my secret weapon when all else fails. This one in particular is lower on the carbs and has great texture in spite of it. It is wholesome, filling and will keep you bright-eyed and bushy tailed!
