Hi. .

Try bran muffins. . to which you can add things like grated apple or carrot, cooked apple puree, mashed banana, berries. . etc. . etc. .

Over the past 18 months we've eaten at a large number of cafes from here to Auckland - via Paeroa and back through the Waikato, and here to Wellington, through either SH1 or through Hawkes Bay and down through the Wairarapa - only two - one in Hamilton and one here in Whakatane, have bran muffins - and when I asked if they had bran muffins, both places said they're often asked for them.

Other places that didn't have them said they're often asked for them too - and many said something like - 'I don't know why we haven't made them'. .

Bran Muffins include extra goodness, with bran and / or wheatgerm used, and more so if fruit or veges are included with berries, grated or stewed apple, stewed or chopped fresh plums, grated or stewed apricots, pears, persimmons, feijoa's, rhubarb, etc. . etc. . or grated carrot, pumpkin, courgette, scallopini, etc. .

With fruit or veges, bran muffins are moist, very tasty, and delicious. . and from our experience over this time. . not often available. .

Thanks hesaps
