Oatmeal Bran Banana Apple Muffins for Toddlers and Big People Alike

I would have photographed the whole batch, but they got gobbled up too quickly. Peanut loved them plain, with peanut butter, and with regular butter (I try to smear good fatty stuff on whatever I give her... good for her brain.) Oh, and my husband was the glutton who is mostly responsible for the disappearance of the batch. Without the butter or peanut butter, these are essentially fat free.
