High Fiber Bran Muffins

So, dinner last night was something new. I decided to try Morning Star Farms’ New Turk’y Burger. It was pretty tasty! I think I may like the chic’n patties better though.

I had the burger on two ends of whole wheat bread, toasted, with arugula, herb goat cheese and roasted red peppers. (Noting a trend with these three ingredients? They are in ALL my meals lately!) I also had a side of corn and mashed potatoes. AND dinner was eaten outside on my deck with parents, which was a plus. 🙂

For dessert I had a small bowl of Edie’s 1/2 the fat chocolate fudge ice cream.

I didn’t have much to do tonight so I decided to bake some muffins on a whim. I have a whole bag of Bob’s Red Mill Wheat Bran so I used the High Fiber Bran Muffin recipe that was on the bag! I liked that there was no sugar in this recipe. At first I wasn’t sure I wanted to add the raisins, but I’m glad I did, since they really make the muffins taste yummy. They muffins are pretty healthy! Only 170 calories per muffin! Also they have 4 grams of fiber and 5 grams of protein. My batch made 11 muffins instead of 12.

Perfect for breakfast this week.
