BEST EVER (AND MOST VERSATILE) MUFFINS!
These are wonderful for just throwing in your favorite ingredients---I don't need any other muffin recipes. Editing to add, based on a recent review: Be sure not to overmix muffins; if you do, they will be tough. They should still be lumpy when you are finished mixing them.

BEST EVER ZUCCHINI MUFFINS
I got this recipe from my friend, who is a Health and Wellness teacher. They are super healthy and taste even better! Really easy to make too! :) You could also add nuts, or leave out the raisins. You could even substitute the zucchini with carrots! To preserve the nutrients, cool the muffins than freeze them immediately until you want to eat them. You can thaw them in the microwave for a few seconds, and they taste fresh from the oven!

BEST-EVER BLUEBERRY MUFFINS
Modified from BH&G's Homemade Bread Cookbook. Tip: if you don't have whole milk on hand, mix your low-fat milk with a pat of melted butter. It helps preserve the fat ratio in the recipe and keeps the muffins from being dry.

Steps:
- Beat eggs. Add honey, apple sauce and liquid and mix together. Put in baking soda, vanilla, baking powder and salt and stir thoroughly. Mix in flour, then germ and bran.

Tips:
- Use fresh, high-quality ingredients. This will ensure that your muffins are moist and flavorful.
- Don't overmix the batter. Overmixing will make the muffins tough.
- Fill the muffin cups only 2/3 full. This will allow the muffins to rise properly.
- Bake the muffins at a high temperature for a short period of time. This will result in muffins with a tender crumb and a golden brown crust.
- Let the muffins cool completely before frosting or serving. This will help the frosting to set properly.
