Can you freeze these muffins?

Absolutely! After they bake and cool off transfer them to whatever freezer friendly container you like to use. To reheat, I just pop them in the microwave for a few seconds.

What are some healthier swaps?

If you are looking to swap out some ingredients for healthier one, I might suggest adding in some ground flax seed or swapping the chocolate chips for raisins or cranberries. For some extra protein, you could toss in some walnuts or pecans. I haven't tested this recipe using other types of flour however, so I can't guarantee how they will turn out.

Preheat the oven to 375 degrees.
Mix together the bran cereal and milk in a bowl and let sit for 10 minutes to soften.

Add the dry ingredients (flour, baking soda, baking powder and salt) to the bowl with the cereal and mix together.
