Healthy Blueberry Oat Bran Muffins

Submitted by Dorel

"This recipe was found on the Rogers Oat Bran package. I'm putting it on zaar so I won't lose it. I haven't made it yet. Oat bran and wheat bran are very good for you. UPDATE. Apr 8. I finally got around to making these. These are not a sweet muffin. I added 1/2 cup brown sugar instead of white. If you want a sweeter muffin increase the sugar. I used about 2 cups frozen blueberries as I like like a lot. I made 6 giant muffins and baked for 32 min."

Just finished baking and couldn’t wait to try these. Warm and gooey, not to mention tasty. I used brown sugar and wheat flour. Drizzled a little honey on top before baking. I’m a big fan of blueberries so I used about 1 1/2 cups of fresh blueberries. I also added a snack size cup of applesauce to the liquids. I think it helps keep them moist, and they are. Next time I think I will try 3/4 c bran and 3/4 c oatmeal. Just because they look quite bland. All in all a good recipe. Thanks for sharing!
