Blueberry Yogurt Bran Muffins!

Blueberry Bran Yogurt Muffins 8.2.08

Lower fat and delicious! I made these on Saturday morning and after having a bunch of friends over on Saturday night - they were gone!

Recipe Source: http://www.recipezaar.com/86793

Ingredients:
400 g any flavour yogurt (about 14 oz ... I used low fat plain)
2 teaspoons baking soda
3/4 cup brown sugar (increase to 1 cup if you prefer sweeter muffins)
2 large eggs
1 cup oil (or 1/2 cup oil and 1/2 cup apple sauce)
2 cups natural bran (not cereal, the real wheat bran)
2 teaspoons vanilla
2 cups flour (can be white or whole wheat)
4 teaspoons baking powder
1 cup blueberries (I always use about 2 cups, I like lots of blueberries in my muffins)

Directions:
1. Preheat oven 350°.
2. Line 12 muffin cups with paper liners or spray with Pam.
3. Measure yogurt into medium bowl and mix in baking soda, it will foam and it is supposed too; set aside.
4. In a large bowl beat together sugar, eggs and oil.
5. Add bran and vanilla.
6. In a separate bowl mix together flour and baking powder.
7. Gradually add the flour and yogurt mixtures alternately to the sugar mixture.
8. Fold in blueberries.
9. Bake 20-35 minutes.
10. Makes 12 very large muffins or 18 large muffins. (For real - It made 12 good size muffins and an entire tray of the mini muffins! yay!)
