    These Blueberry Bran Muffins are deliciously moist and fluffy. A perfect low-fat breakfast or snack option with added fiber.

    While in North Carolina last week, my sister-in-law made these Blueberry Bran Muffins for us to take to the beach and have for breakfast. My mother actually gave us this recipe a while ago but I have never gotten around to making them. I am so glad my SIL did! They are so incredibly moist and yummy!

    The muffins are started by soaking the bran cereal in orange juice, water and vanilla extract for a few minutes to soften the flakes. TheN mixing in a little oil and an egg and then adding in the mixed dry ingredients.

    Super simple! They were the perfect addition to my yogurt parfait each morning.
