Yield Makes 12 muffins

Number Of Ingredients 11

1 stick (1/2 cup) unsalted butter, melted and cooled
1/2 cup milk
2 large eggs, beaten lightly
1 1/2 cups all-purpose flour
3/4 cup sugar
2 teaspoons double-acting baking powder
1/4 teaspoon salt
1/2 cup miller's bran*
3/4 cup hulled raw sunflower seeds,* toasted lightly
1 1/2 cups blueberries, picked over
*available at natural foods stores, specialty foods shops, and some supermarkets

  • If you don't have muffin liners, grease muffin cups with cooking spray.
  • Use fresh blueberries for the best flavor. If using frozen blueberries, thaw them before using and drain off any excess liquid.
  • You can substitute other dried fruit or nuts for the sunflower seeds, such as raisins, cranberries, or chopped walnuts.
