Cran-Blueberry Muffins

These little muffins are delightful and healthy. As I mentioned in my Cranberry Nut Breakfast Cookies, this was a shock to the two additional little kids I am watching to have a “healthy” muffin. I use honey for my sweetener and it helps eliminate the processed sugar. I also use unbleached whole wheat flour as a healthier option as well.

The little boy ate them, but the little girl was not too fond of them as she knew by my mistake of saying they were healthy she wouldn’t be interested. That was my fault!

Ingredients:

  • 1 1/2 cups cooking oats
  • 1 ½ cups whole wheat flour
  • ¾ cup honey
  • 2 tsp cinnamon
  • 1 tsp baking powder
  • 1 tsp baking soda
  • ¾ tsp salt
  • 1 ½ cups buttermilk
  • ¼ cup vegetable oil
  • 2 eggs
  • 3/4 cup bran flakes
  • 1 cup blueberries
  • 1 cup dried cranberries

Preheat oven to 400. In a stand mixer, mix first 7 ingredients together. Mix well.

If serving to children, don’t tell them they are healthy. :)
