Here's another muffin recipe for you. Sorry for the lack of real juicy posts lately--I know some of you, or maybe all of you, could care less about the recipes I come up with in my spare time. I should probably stop baking because all I do is bake and then eat....all of them. I figured that I won't have homemade baked goods for 6 weeks so why not make as many as I can before leaving. That includes other items like pizza and gelato, yum!
So I love bran muffins. Call me a freak or a health snob but I cannot get by without a good bran muffin recipe. My mom makes the best ones I know--healthier than most places since bran muffins from bakeries, cafes and places like tim hortons, Starbucks and dunkin donuts can pack some serious fat, sugar and calories...yuck. Why disguise a unhealthy muffin as healthy by tacking on the word bran? If i'm eating a bran muffin it sure as hell better be a healthy one.
