I will often take my zucchini bread and play with it - maybe use whole
wheat flour for half the white flour, maybe use shredded carrots and
apples for part of the shredded zucchini and such. A tablespoon of
ground flax seed to any quick bread recipe really boosts the fiber too.
No reason you couldn't do the same and play with a favorite recipe of
yours.

Also, here's our favorite bran muffin recipe.

2 large eggs
1/4 C brown sugar
1 C soy, rice or cow milk
1/4 C vegetable oil
1 1/2 C bran cereal *
1/2 C oat bran
1/2 C all purpose flour
2 t baking powder

Heat oven to 375 degrees. Grease muffin cups or use paper liners.

Beat eggs and sugar in a medium bowl. Whisk in milk and oil. Stir in
wheat bran cereal. Let soak for at least 15 minutes.

Thoroughly mix dry ingredients together. Fold dry mixture into wet
ingredients. Scoop batter into muffin cups and bake 20 - 25 minutes.
Cool before eating.

* any sort of twig like cereal or bran flake will work. Our most recent
favorite to use is Natures Path multi-bran flakes.

You could certainly add nuts or any sort of dried fruit to these if you
don't like plain bran muffins.
