1
Preheat oven to 375F; prepare muffin pans by spraying tin with fat-free non-stick spray (do not use paper liners as the muffins won't rise as much).

3
Stir in bran; let stand for 5 minutes.
4
In a small mixing bowl, combine flour, baking powder, salt and baking soda; stir in berries.

Add to egg mixture, folding with a spatula just until combined; do not overmix.
6
Spoon into paper-lined muffin cups, filling right to the top.
7
Bake in preheated oven for approximately 22 minutes, or until muffins are firm to the touch; do not overbake or muffins will be dry and tough.
8
Remove muffins from pan and cool on rack.
