{TOTALLY guilt-free} raisin bran muffins





Alright. I know a skinny word somehow made it up to the title again… WHAT. Is. Happening to me? Just let me explain myself… They do NOT taste skinny… ONE BIT! Even though they don't have a DRIP of butter, oil, OR sugar in them, they have all the qualities you look for in a good, unhealthy muffin. Moist {sorry for using that word.}, flavorful, filling, sweet. AND a little bonus- healthy! It doesn't get much better than that! Make 'em now and eat half the batch… or the WHOLE batch, I really don't care. Breakfast for the rest of the week right there… 

Raisin Bran Muffins 
Makes about 1 dozen muffins

1 mashed banana
3/4 c. plain greek yogurt {You could even use a fruit yogurt for extra FLAVUHHH!}
1/2 c. milk
1 egg
1/2 c. honey
1 tsp. vanilla
1 1/2 c. wheat flour
1 tsp. baking powder
2 tsp. cinnamon
2 1/2 c. bran flakes cerea;
1 c. raisins

Preheat oven to 350ºF and prepare a muffin tin.
In a large bowl, combine the mashed banana, yogurt, milk, honey, vanilla, and egg. Stir until smooth.
Add in the wheat flour, baking powder, cinnamon, and bran flakes. Pour in the raisins.
Scoop the batter into the prepared muffin tin. Bake for about 12-16 minutes or until the center has set.
Let cool before moving to a wire rack. Store in a airtight container.

  2. I did not know photos of raisin bran muffins could look like a work of art.

  3. Honey is a sugar, so maybe you meant "no refined sugar."
