Mixed Berry Bran Muffins

Full of fibre and fruit, these Mixed Berry Bran Muffins< are sweetened only with honey and molasses. Perfect for a morning muffin.

I noticed the other day that I haven’t very many muffin recipes here. Truth be told, I don’t eat a ton of muffins. Part of the reason is that many muffins have as much fat and calories as a piece of cake and honestly, when that’s the case, I’d rather have cake ;) So when I do make muffins, they tend to be of the non-cake variety.

These muffins fill the bill perfectly. They are full of fibre, from the wheat bran, to the oat bran to the whole wheat flour. Add in lots of fruit and sweetening without white sugar and there’s lots to love about these muffins.

Cook’s Notes

These muffins are also endlessly customizable. For my batch, I used blueberries and raspberries. Blackberries would also be nice. Use a combination of fruit of just one kind – about 1 pint worth, whatever kind of fruit you use. For sweetening, a nice honey is all you need. I actually used Lyle’s Golden Syrup for my batch with added great flavour. As for the molasses, you’ll want to use “Fancy” or mild molasses, not blackstrap, which would be a little too harsh in flavour for these muffins.

And finally, feel free to add in any other goodies you like, such as flax seed or meal or chia seeds etc. I love to use fresh fruit in these muffins, but I see no reason why frozen berries wouldn’t work just as well.

Instructions

 

• Preheat oven to 375° F. Line 12 muffin cups with paper liners (really recommend liners for these muffins as they tend to be loose and may fall apart when trying to remove from just a greased muffin cup.)
• In a large mixing bowl, combine the wheat bran, oat bran, flour, baking soda, baking powder and salt. Whisk to combine well.
• In another medium bowl, lightly beat the eggs. Add the yogurt and milk and stir well to combine. Then add the molasses, honey and oil and stir until well combined.
• Pour the wet ingredients over the dry, and gently stir together. Gently fold in your fresh fruit.
• Using a large spoon or ice cream scoop, divide the batter between your 12 prepared muffin cups. Bake for about 22-25 minutes, rotating the pan halfway through. Allow to cool in the muffin tins on a wire rack for about 5-10 minutes before removing from the muffin tin to cool completely.
