Blueberry Bran Muffins

"This recipe is from Bon Appetit June 2007 source is the Ristretto Roasters in Oregon. This recipe calls for muffin pans with 1 cups muffin cups. If you use a standard muffin pan (with 1/3 cup muffin cups), bake the muffins for only about 30 minutes. Using the smaller pan will make about 24 muffins."

  1. Nice, moist, not too sweet. Baked a scaled down test batch fearing that the molasses flavor would overwhelm the blueberries. Using unsulphured molasses kept the flavor in check. No clue how this works with frozen berries - I had fresh and just folded them in very gently at the end. A little lemon zest might be nice but other than increasing the amount of blueberries, I wanted to try it as published the first time around. Note: these are HUGE muffins.

  1. Scaled recipe to 1/3 (using 1 egg), used unsulphured molasses and fresh blueberries (3/4 C). Used a 6-cup jumbo muffin pan and made 5 large muffins. Filled 6th cup with water and baked for 35 min.
