Mini Wheat Bran Muffins

April 18, 2013

Adding Whole Red Wheat Flour

These mini wheat bran muffins are a nutritious choice, as they are crafted with freshly ground whole red wheat flour and pure wheat bran. Unlike traditional versions made with processed wheat bran cereal and synthetic additives, these muffins pack a natural boost of vitamins and minerals from the freshly ground wheat flour.

We recommend that you freshly grind your wheat if you’re looking to get the maximum nutrition because within 48 hours of grinding whole grains, 1/2 of the nutrients have already oxidized out. If you’re looking for a mill, we highly recommend the WonderMill.

Alternative Flour Options

These muffins are so moist and light. They have just the right amount of sweetness and being mini, you may not be able to stop at just one. But be aware that these are not for the faint of stomach. They have a ton of fiber, which may upset stomachs that aren’t used to it. You can enjoy them with less fiber by using whole white wheat flour, which naturally has less bran.

What a perfect way to start your morning! Whole grains and fiber make you feel more satisfied while eating less and sustain your energy levels for a longer period of time.
