Yogurt Berry Bran Muffins

For many reasons, we've really been trying to find ways to eat more healthfully lately. We joined the CSA, and I've been trying to make food from scratch when possible instead of buying processed foods. We only buy whole grain bread now, and we keep lots of fruit around for snacking. I found this easy muffin recipe online, and they make a great snack or breakfast. I like to take them to the pool, since they're easy to eat on the go. Sawyer really loves them; Parker is ... getting used to them.
