Diabetic Pumpkin Muffins

These diabetic pumpkin muffins are delicious and heart healthy. Bran is the richest form of dietary fiber. We all need to add a little more fiber to our diets. AND pumpkin is rich in Carotenoids which helps with neutralizing free radicals. 2 reasons to eat more pumpkin and bran.

I love this recipes because the recipe says mix all ingredients in a bowl. Throw it in, mix, and bake.
