During the Christmas holidays, I was on the look out for a “healthy” muffin that I could make for P and I to snack on. I had a couple of rules the the muffins had to follow.
1. The apples freezing in the garage had to be incorporated.
2. The bananas freezing the in freezer had to be incorporated.
3. The huge box of bran flakes I purchase because it was on “SALE”, needed to be used.
My final demand . . .
4. The pints of blueberries need to be used up!
So I went about searching for recipes that used all of the these things . . . and I couldn’t find one that satisfied all of the rules. I had to make a number of recipes up!
63 muffins later, I had done it!
The best one out of the bunch, which incorporates the blueberries and bran, is the one I have decided to share with you! It comes from a low fat cookbook, from the Looneyspoons series, and I have made some alterations shown in the recipe.
Blueberry Bran Muffins Ingredients:
1 1/4 cups all purpose flour
1 1/2 tsp baking soda
1 tsp cinnamon
1/2 tsp salt
1 can (14oz) peaches packed in fruit juice, undrained
2/3 cup of packed brown sugar
1/2 cup fat-free egg substitute, or 2 whole eggs
3 tbsp vegetable oil
3 cups bran flakes
1 cup rolled oats
1/2 cup fresh or frozen blueberries
For the procedure, you’ll have to watch the video!
