Happy Colon Cancer Month – Banana Cocoa Bran Muffins

I am not a scientist, but I am starting to believe that cancer is contagious. Everywhere I go, I hear stories of people I know getting it. And I refuse to believe it is just because the crowd I hang out with is getting up into the “older” population. So in honor of my friend who was too young to be diagnosed with colon cancer last year and is currently battling through the stages of chemo, I made these Banana Cocoa Bran muffins. Getting your daily bran is one of the simple ways you can stay healthy. And this recipe even makes it tasty doing it. Although they taste like regular treats, I feel the need to warn people of their high bran content. The other thing you can do is to get that colonoscopy or other colon cancer screening test if you are 50 or older. Yeah, it isn’t the most pleasant thing, but just think of it as a great weight loss plan (for 2 days at least). You know the old saying “ An apple a day keeps the doctor away”. Well the new saying is “A bran muffin a day, keeps everyone away”. Enjoy!

I'm 27, soon to be 28 and my GF threatens to give me daily colonoscopies if I don't propose engagement soon. Baker Babe, how can I use your Bran muffins to postpone this and also to keep my back side healthy?

If you really think marriage is worse then a probe up your behind I think you have bigger issues. I suggest that you just put a ring in one of these babies and get it over with. On the bright side, if she accidentally eats it you know it will come out the other end very shortly :)
