Blueberry Bran Muffins



This muffin recipe is WONDERFUL! I was really concerned b/c our son loves "breakfast bars" and I realized that they are actually fairly unhealthy, despite being vitamin fortified. I got this recipe from FoodieFarmGirl (Blueberry Bran Muffin Recipe), so I won't put the recipe here. My only change was to add 1 cup of chopped walnuts. This recipe uses wheat bran, oat bran and whole wheat flour- all much better for you than white flour. These muffins also contain milk and yogurt and use honey and molasses as sweeteners (no refined sugar). The advantage of "Blackstrap Molasses" is that it contains a rather large amount of iron and calcium. The blueberries added allow me to get a fruit serving into my son's breakfast as well. I thawed 1 and 1/2 cups of frozen blueberries and also added the juices that were left in the bowl after thawing. A brilliant and incredibly delicious ((to die for hot out of the oven) recipe and I can't wait until our little guy tries it

I'm so glad you're enjoying my recipe. I'm positively addicted to these muffins. Thanks for writing about them and including a link to my blog in your post.

I'm hoping to share my new favorite version in the next few days--carrot, raisin & zucchini. Mmmmm! : )
