Honey Raisin Bran Muffins
Good morning muffins!
If I say that often enough, do you think that muffins will magically appear on my kitchen counter ready to be consumed? Be careful how you answer this, you might crush my dreams.
But until this starts happening, I will be content with actually baking them myself.
Recently, as some of you may know, I have been on a sort of a granola kick. Coconut Vanilla Granola, pecan cranberry granola, apricot granola... the list goes on. So granola and yogurt. That was pretty much my breakfast for the past month. Obsessive much? I think obsessive should be my middle name.
Now maybe my breakfasts will look like muffins and yogurt instead. I can see myself having a muffin obsession. New month, new obsession.
Just watch me make a granola recipe for my next post. I'm not sure if my obsession for granola will ever go away.
These muffins were fantastic. I gave some to my dad who hates bran, and he gobbled down two of these, and was reaching for a third the last time I checked. These muffins will put your bowl of raisin bran to shame, and are probably healthier too.
I'm thinking perfect weekday grab and go breakfast? This is so happening.
