Start your morning right with these healthy bran muffins lightly sweetened with honey, fresh blueberries and coconut flakes. So moist and delicious, you won’t even realize they are light.
Someone recently shared this bran muffin recipe with me and I am glad she did. It’s been years since I had a bran muffin, but my first time actually making them and I was surprised how good they turned out. Enjoy one for breakfast with a cup of coffee or tea and you are good to go. Freeze the rest to enjoy throughout the month or make a half batch.

12 oz of blueberries is how many cups
These were delicious! My mom made a bran muffin growing up and these reminded me so much of them. They were perfect with the addition of blueberries and turned out so moist and soft! Look forward to the leftovers!
