What I'm doing with these today...

Banana Bran Muffins

These are always a huge health filled hit!

(*My substitutions)

2 cups flour (*whole wheat flour)

2 cups unprocessed bran

1/2 cup sugar (*agave syrup)

1/2 cup flax seed

3 med ripe bananas

3/4 cup chopped walnuts

1 cup of raisins or dried cranberries

2 tsp baking soda

If you want to get a little crazy...

Which I am not.

I'm still recovering from my self-induced 4th of July sugar comma!
