KAREN'S BLUEBERRY, YOGURT, BRAN MUFFINS

You can use flavored yogurt for these as well


“My very favorite muffin recipe is with pineapple yogurt”

2 cups yogurt
2 tsp baking soda
1 cup brown sugar (I have used less sugar..1/2 cup)
2 eggs
1 cup vegetable oil  (I have substituted 1/2 cup of applesauce for 1/2 cup of oil)
2 cups natural bran flakes
2 tsp vanilla
2 cups all purpose flour or multi grain
4 tsp baking powder
½ tsp salt
1 cup fresh or frozen blueberries
½ cup walnuts (optional)

Bake: 325 degrees

In large bowl combine yogurt and baking soda. Set aside

In large bowl, whisk together sugar, eggs and oil. Add bran and vanilla

In another bowl, sift together flour, baking powder and salt. Add to bran mixture alternately with your yogurt mixture. Fold in blueberries and/or walnuts. You can use dried fruit. I soak dried cranberries or raisins in a cup of hot water, pouring off the water before adding and they are more flavorful.

Spoon batter into prepared muffin tins, filling three quarters full. Bake in preheated oven for 30 – 35 minutes or until a toothpick inserted in comes out clean.
