Hi guys!
I made breakfast!
Oh my gosh, it rained all. weekend. long.
And, like, actual storms. With thunder. We never get storms like that.
I didn’t leave the house a single time. I watched 2 full seasons of Real Housewives of NY, read a book and a half, and made more chicken jerky for the dogs. I desperately needed a weekend of no stress and doing absolutely nothing. It was perfect.
And I had made these muffins during the week so I didn’t even have to worry about making breakfast for anyone.
When I want a muffin, I’m very specific. I either want a really light and fluffy blueberry muffin (always blueberry) or something with a bunch of texture, like a bran muffin.
No other muffins exist in my world.
These Blueberry Bran Muffins are the current weekend breakfast at my house. I’ve made several batches in the last month because everyone loves them.
I know when you think of bran muffins, you probably think of the ones at Starbucks that you could actually kill someone with if you threw it hard enough but these aren’t like that at all.
The wheat bran gives the best texture without making them dense. Plus, the blueberries are so juicy and delicious right now.
I couldn’t find wheat bran at either of my big grocery stores but found a giant bag in the bulk section of Natural Grocers for $.99. So check the bulk area of your health food store. If you still can’t find it, you can always order it.
How Long Are Bran Muffins Good For?
These homemade bran muffins will be fine at room temperature for about 2 days. Make sure to store them in an airtight container.
The muffins will stay fresh in the fridge for up to a week. I recommend bringing the muffins to room temperature before you serve them so they go back to their original texture.
Can You Freeze Bran Muffins?
Yes! These bran muffins can be frozen. Make sure you use an airtight container and consume within 3 months.
You can defrost them on the counter overnight or pop them in the microwave for a few seconds.
