It’s been a rough couple of years for us being a part of this club no one wants to be a member of. Since writing the POST I just linked to, without any warning, my mother passed away. With the passing of both of my parents, each at the tender age of 68, I’ve been made me acutely aware of taking advantage of every last one of life’s Big and small creature comforts. ( I count this Weight Watchers Fiber One Raisin Bran Muffins as one of those comforts).
I’m trying to be more cognizant of the blissful slow pace of a weekend morning. Doing my best to savor the sweetness of taking a bite of a syrup soaked flapjack, and of course the undeniable pleasure derived from a glass of wine and that oh so lovely after effect the wine buzz.
Oh yes and marinating in the pleasure of enjoying a guilt free Weight Watchers Bran muffin. Keep reading for all the delicious deets.

I’m so sorry for the loss of your mother. I agree that it’s important to slow down and enjoy the special moments. These raisin bran muffins look delicious and I like that they are only 3 points.
So sorry to learn of the passing of your Mom. My Mom passed about five years ago now and it is rare that a day goes by when I don’t think of her somehow. This is a great recipe. I will pin it for later. At least two of the members of this family can use the bran in the muffins and the extra fibre would be good for them.
aww im so srry to hear about your mom but these muffins like pretty yummy and simple to make the for the family
So deeply sorry for your loss. I will keep you and your family in my thoughts and prayers. I hope you can take comfort in the many memories you shared with her. Thank you for sharing this recipe. I have been making quick, healthy on the go breakfasts for my family the past few weeks and this will be a nice addition to add to the rotation. I look forward to trying them!
These look delicious! I always like to have muffins in the morning.
Mostly I am sorry for the loss of your mother. I know that can’t be easy.

Sorry to hear of the loss of both of your parents… You always provide so many better alternative recipes. Looking forward to giving this a try.
I am very sorry for your loss. My husband lost his grandfather this week, and we have been reminiscing.
I’m so sorry for your loss. They were both so young. I’m 54, so I know very well that 68 is not old. Hold onto the beautiful memories you have of them and they’ll always be with you.
The bran muffins look delicious. I’m going to have to try this recipe.
I am so sorry to hear of your mom’s passing. 68 is still young, so it’s definitely a reminder that we must never take each day that we roll out of bed for granted.
Your muffins do look so delicious and comforting. I’ll have to whip up a batch soon!
