BRUNCH-N-MUNCH! TGIF: Bran Muffins


Happy Friday!  Wanna get your weekend off to a healthy start?  Why not munch on a bran muffin for breakfast?  Not the brown, tasteless kind that are served at the local diner.  These are moist, packed with fiber, and actually taste good!


The following recipe was my guide: http://www.food.com/recipe/hodgson-mills-oven-ready-bran-muffins-277270 (Nutritional info provided on web page)

The changes I made?  Swapped one egg out for 1 T flax seed mill in 3 T water, add cinamon and nutmeg (to spice things up), used vanilla almond milk instead of buttermilk.  This added some additional sweetness and flavor and cut down a few calories.  Other suggestions?  Add chopped nuts for texture and healthy fats.  Add raisins or shredded apples for some fruit.  Swap out the butter for applesauce (or apple butter).  This will result in a more moist and lighter product!
