Start your day out with a dose of fruit and vegetables hiding in your muffin! These bran flax muffins are hearty and delicious. Perfect for breakfast on the go or a mid morning snack.

Need a quick on the go breakfast that’s filling and satisfying? Look no further! These bran flax muffins have been a favorite in our home for a long time. Surprisingly, I haven’t shared them sooner!

Bran Flax Muffins

These muffins are a sort of “morning glory” type muffin. They’re chocked full of healthy ingredients, but you kind of feel like your having a treat. My kids really didn’t realize there was vegetables in their muffins until they were older. And if that doesn’t sound great to you, give it a try! I don’t think you’ll be disappointed!

Versatility

Another thing I love about these bran flax muffins is the versatility. You can easily swap out crushed pineapple, or zucchini for the apples. Last year, my garden failed. 🙁  But a couple years ago, I had tons of zucchini, so I shredded it, and put it in my freezer. I added it to sauces, soups, breads, and yup, these muffins! You can use raisins or blueberries or another dried fruit instead of the Craisins. Add nuts if you want more texture. Feel free to use wheat flour instead of all-purpose, or a blend of both. Essentially, you can use the same recipe with some of these changes and have a completely different muffin! I love versatility!

They’re also pretty darn easy to make, not to mention quick! This recipe is adapted from Bob’s Red Mill. Love their flaxseed meal, and really all their products.
