Blueberry Double-Bran Muffins are a deliciously wholesome treat that combines the nutritional power of bran with the delightful burst of blueberries. Perfect for breakfast or a snack, the muffins are sure to satisfy your cravings while keeping your health goals in check.

For a gluten-free option, whole wheat flour can be swapped with a gluten-free flour blend. If you’re looking to reduce sugar, brown sugar Splenda is a great alternative, but regular brown sugar will work just fine too. The blueberries can be replaced with other fruits like raspberries or chopped apples for a fun twist. Be mindful of allergies, particularly with cereal choices, as some may contain allergens like gluten or nuts.

Blueberry Double-Bran Muffins Recipe
Ingredients
- 2 cups whole wheat flour
- 1/2 cup packed brown sugar (or brown sugar Splenda, if preferred)
- 4 teaspoons baking powder
- 1/4 teaspoon salt
- 1/2 teaspoon cinnamon
- 2 cups bran flakes
- 1 cup all-bran cereal
- 2 cups skim milk
- 1 teaspoon lemon juice
- 1/2 cup unsweetened applesauce
- 1 egg
- 1 cup blueberries
Instructions
- Lightly spray a muffin pan with oil spray and set your oven to 400 degrees.
- In a large bowl, mix together 2 cups of whole wheat flour, 1/2 cup of packed brown sugar, 4 teaspoons of baking powder, 1/4 teaspoon of salt, and 1/2 teaspoon of cinnamon.
- Make a well in the center of the dry ingredients and set it aside while you prepare the wet mix.
- In another bowl, measure 2 cups of bran flakes and 1 cup of all-bran cereal. Stir in 1 teaspoon of lemon juice to 2 cups of skim milk to sour it, and then pour the soured milk over the cereals.
- Add 1/2 cup of unsweetened applesauce and 1 beaten egg to the cereal mixture. Stir it all together until well blended, then pour it over the dry ingredients, mixing lightly until just combined.
- Gently fold in 1 cup of blueberries, stirring just enough to distribute them without overmixing.
- Spoon the batter into the prepared muffin tins, filling each cup about two-thirds full, and bake for approximately 25 minutes until they’re golden and a toothpick comes out clean.
