This is one of the healthy muffins which are baked using wheat bran. There are two types of bran, one is a oat bran and another one is wheat bran. They come from the outer husk of the oat and wheat. If you find them in your supermarket, just make sure you stock them. they will be available in the cereal section of your supermarket.
