I'm not a big breakfast person (unless we go out), and that isn't healthy (either way).I'm trying to do better. We have a fresh fruit bowl every other day and healthy muffins go nicely with that for a well rounded morning meal.
I researched bran muffins online, and came up with my own multigrain version.

Your healthy muffins look very yummy! I'm like you. Not much of a breakfast person but as I grow older things seem to be changing. Some days I'm ravenous in the morning. Other days a muffin will do and it's good to have healthy options.
ReplyDeleteWe tend to sleep later, especially during the dark winter mornings. We eat a late breakfast and then dinner early. Two meals a day work well for us. - Margy
DeleteOoooh those look so delicious. I do like a good muffin. I have a blueberry muffin recipe that I make fairly often, and with the huge blueberries in this region, they are extra yummy. I have to make a shopping list now - as there are a few of the grains that I don't have on hand right now. I like muffins for breakfast - or for afternoon tea.
ReplyDeleteI love shopping at the bulk bins at Winco because you can get just what you need rather than buying big packages and have leftovers for a long time. - Margy
DeleteThese muffins look great! Thanks Margy for your kind visit and comment.
