I love muffins. Who doesn’t love muffins? Do you favor the top of the muffin or the bottom? I’m a fan of the top.
Does anyone prefer the bottom?
These muffins are hearty because of the whole wheat flour and wheat bran. They’ll leave you feeling full and satisfied–a great way to start the day or get you through those mid-afternoon blues. Plus they are easily adapted. Don’t have blueberries? Throw in some blackberries or raspberries. Chopped apples would be great this time of year too!
Do your thing.
Ingredients Instructions Notes I used frozen blueberries, straight out of the freezer!
Verdict: So good! I love the subtle texture from the wheat bran and the whole wheat flour..and then the nice crunch from the sugar on the top.
Husband’s take: He swore these were the best muffins he ever tasted. Seriously! E of course scarfed them down too–they have “blue blues!” in them.
Changes I would make: None are necessary. You could easily substitute any berry you wanted, though.
Difficulty: Easy.
mmmm….berries!

Love all of the wheat goodness in these!!
You know I’d have to split a batch of these… half blueberry and have apple. Oh yummmmm.
These look great and I bet my kiddos would love them too!
These sound so yummy!
Thank you
Love how adaptable these are! A perfect breakfast!
I am a huge fan of any muffin – these look great. I love the wheat bran in them!
I wish I had wheat bran so I could make these now. They look amazing!
Muffin tops are the best! (Apart from on me obviously…)
Love how these are just bursting with blueberries and have all those healthy ingredients too.
These sound really good. I may have to set aside my usual blueberry muffin recipe and give these a try. I like that they’re whole wheat, with the bran, and also with buttermilk for a little tang. Yum!
I love all of the good for you things in these muffins! What a great way to start the day!!
These sound great, love all the wheat goodness!
I like the top, but the bottom is a-ok in my book, too! These look good… I <3 bran muffins!
Pretty sure everyone prefers the tops of muffins! I love how packed with blueberries these are
I’m a muffin top girl too. They look like a great, healthy breakfast.
i love muffins AND i love bran (which i always feel strange saying, because it makes me sound like a fiber-loving weirdo), so these are right up my alley. YUM!
perfect I have a few bags of frozen blueberries I need to use up!!
Hooray!
These sound great! I’m definitely the biggest fan of the top of the muffin. I always overfill my liners to make sure an ample amount of batter overflows for extra toppage. Not the most attractive thing ever, but totally delicious!
Hi Rachel! These muffins look so scrumptious! I can’t get enough of that last picture. Amazing…
Thank you! I wish I had a couple for breakfast this morning!
I haven’t made muffins in so long! Now I am itching to make some
Muffin tops all the way! Though, this one looks so good, I will happily eat the whole thing!
Hi Rachel!! So funny, just last weekend I was chatting with my friend about finding the perfect blueberry muffin recipe. One that is relatively healthy at that. You never cease to amaze me! i want to jump right through the screen and eat one with my morning coffee today.
What a great looking breakfast or snack!
This is one goooood lookin’ muffin! Blueberry muffins are my fave and these look super delish
Love these! They look pretty and I totally think apple would be fantastic as well. (Yes, I know you already said that, you’re a genius.)
I can never have enough blueberry muffin recipes under my belt. I love this one! Pinning!
blueberry muffins are classic. Yours look lovely! I love the blue hue in the center instead of the normal purple I get.
Thanks! You really can’t beat a good blueberry muffin
These look so soft and fluffy and bursting with good things! Yum! How ARE YOU?!!! Hope the little one is doing great. She’s such a cutie!
Hey Geni! Little one is doing well, has a little cold right now but she’s hanging in. Baby #2 is due in about 5 weeks! A boy!
My girls LOVE muffins for their breakfast… totally making these! Xo
any idea what the calorie content is for these yummy muffins?
Nope, sorry Renee, I don’t calculate the calories for my recipes. I believe there are some online tools that you could enter the recipe into to calculate nutritional information. These muffins do have a fair amount of butter in them, so although they are good for you in the whole grains department, they aren’t necessarily low-fat.
Made these muffins for breakfast this morning (found through google search or maybe pinterest)…They were delicious!! My husband said this is definitely a make-again recipe. Thanks for sharing!
Thanks so much for coming back to let me know! I’m so glad you and your husband enjoyed them
