In an effort to get a little more fiber in our lives, Hannah and I made Raisin Bran Muffins today. They are deliciously amazing & healthy. Bonus: I got to get rid of the rest of the Raisin Bran I had in my pantry that I was tired of eating for breakfast.
I created my own recipe after being inspired by this one. I was trying to use what I had at home plus add in the flavors we really like. I think they turned out great so try this recipe or use it as inspiration for your own!
Raisin Bran Muffins–Holly & Hannah style
Ingredients:
- 1/4 cup vegetable oil
- 1/4 cup prune puree’
- 1/4 cup brown sugar
- 1/4 cup pure maple syrup
- 2 Omega 3 brand eggs
- 1 c. buttermilk (I never have buttermilk on hand so I make my own by putting 1 T. white vinegar in a measuring cup and then filling with milk to make 1 cup)
- 1 1/2 c. Raisin Bran cereal
- 1/2 c. Rice Krispies cereal
- 1/4 c. raisins
- 1 c. white whole wheat flour
- 1/2 tsp. cinnamon
- 1 tsp. baking soda
- 1/2 tsp. salt
Instructions:
Mix in order and bake in muffin tin at 400 degrees for 12 – 15 minutes (mine took 12). Let cool for 10 minutes then pop out of pan and enjoy with a little butter! A little butter never hurt anyone, right? This recipe made 12 muffins for me. I filled the muffin cups 3/4 of the way full.

Today I made two “pinterest projects”. One is edible and one is not but both are equally cool.
1. Moose Munch–Have you ever had this stuff from Harry & David? I can polish off an entire huge bag by myself. It is THAT good but this version I made is even better! It is so easy to make and would be perfect for holiday gifts. I put some in a cute jar to be given as a door prize at my family reunion this weekend.
2. Halloween Soap–I saw this pin and knew this would be the perfect gift for Hannah’s teachers at preschool. It would be a great gift for anyone though! I made the tag using a template I found here. I bought a 4 pack of nice soap from Sam’s Club for $6.98 so this makes an affordable gift as well. The soap looks just like what you’d get from Bath and Body Works only a lot cheaper! Here is my final product:
Confession: Tonight I had a glass of pinot grigio and a bowl of Moose Munch. Yep, it has been that kind of week 🙂
