volunteered for the &quot;Breakfast for Learning Program&quot; at my older kiddies&#39; elementary school. &amp;nbsp; Through generous donations from the community, school and the Parent Advisory Committee (PAC), our children&#39;s school can offer a simple breakfast for those who come to school hungry. &amp;nbsp;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;span class=&quot;Apple-style-span&quot; style=&quot;font-family: Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif;&quot;&gt;The PAC helps purchase and provide juice, milk, yogurt, cereal bars, cinnamon buns and muffins. &amp;nbsp;Depending on the volunteer, someone can make pancakes or waffles for a hot breakfast! &amp;nbsp;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;br /&gt;

9. <span class="Apple-style-span" style="font-family: Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif;">Since this was my first gig for the year, I simply set out the usual milk, fruit, juice and store bought bran muffins.  To test the waters, I also brought a batch of my sour cream whole wheat banana bread.  I made them into mini muffins, mini loaves and a big loaf.  I was OVERWHELMED by the response!  When I ran out of mini muffins, I cut up the last loaf and it was GONE IN SECONDS.  Wow.  </span></div>

13. <span class="Apple-style-span" style="font-family: Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif;">This is another one of those recipes that I have been using for over 10 years.  Great for gift-giving and Christmas.  I think the secret is the moistness and fluffiness from the sour cream. </span></div>

I got rave reviews!!!  No one noticed that I used half whole wheat flour in the recipe.  </span></div>

84. <span class="Apple-style-span" style="font-family: Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif;">I had a craving to <i>make </i>banana muffins.  Is that an odd notion? Even with my sudden food allergies, I still like to bake things I cannot eat.  It's the act of baking that makes me happy.  I pray that one day, my body will heal itself and I can enjoy the same foods as my family.  In the meantime, it hasn't stopped me from making their favourite classics, like banana muffins. </span><br />

231. My youngest couldn't wait to get her hands on one!  It was a hit!!  Hubby and the kids approved of this recipe (even when I used a blend whole wheat flour/wheat germ/ground flaxseed instead of all purpose flour).  The kiddies ate 2 mini muffins each and wanted more.  I had to hide the rest to bring for Snack Day tomorrow! </div>

245. <br />
246. <span style="font-family: Arial,Helvetica,sans-serif;">I had 4 bananas that were ripe for baking.  </span><span style="font-family: Arial,Helvetica,sans-serif;">I was inspired by my friend's gorgeous <a href="http://thewanderingfork.blogspot.ca/2012/05/banana-chocolate-peanut-butter-muffins.html" target="_blank">Banana Chocolate and Peanut Butter Muffins</a>!  Alas, I am allergic to chocolate and hubby and the kids are allergic to peanuts.  Instead of chocolate and peanut butter,  I used different ingredients.  My last batch of <a href="http://inmahkitchen.blogspot.ca/2012/05/blueberry-honey-bran-muffins.html" target="_blank">whole wheat blueberry bran muffins</a> turned out really good and moist, so I'll go whole wheat again.</span><br />
247. <br />
248. <span style="font-family: Arial,Helvetica,sans-serif;">I used a basic <a href="http://www.100daysofrealfood.com/2011/05/02/recipe-whole-wheat-banana-bread/" target="_blank">whole wheat banana bread recipe</a> and made my modifications from there.  I wanted to use whole wheat flour, wheat germ, ground flaxseed, buttermilk, honey and coconut oil.  For more information about coconut oil, visit <a href="http://www.doctoroz.com/blog/charles-mattocks/benefits-coconut-oil" target="_blank">Dr. Oz's article on the Benefits of Coconut Oil</a>.   </span><br />
249. <br />
250. <span style="font-family: Arial,Helvetica,sans-serif;">The result?  A very pleasant, not too sweet, moist and healthy banana muffin that my family enjoyed.  I will make this one again.  </span><br />
251. <br />
252. <span style="font-family: Arial,Helvetica,sans-serif;">If you are expecting a super fluffy, sugary sweet and intense banana flavoured muffin/cupcake, this is not it.  I told hubby that the muffin has the taste of honey whole wheat bread with a kiss of banana.  I find that the banana flavour intensifies when they are super ripe and a lot of sugar is added.  </span><br />

The cupcakes are a great treat and fundraiser but we can&#39;t that all the time or it wouldn&#39;t be special anymore.&amp;nbsp; Looking around the web, there is a wonderful movement for eating &lt;i&gt;real&lt;/i&gt; food.&amp;nbsp; Food that is unrefined, unprocessed, made from scratch and organic.&amp;nbsp;&amp;nbsp;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;br /&gt;
332. <br />
333. <span style="font-family: Arial,Helvetica,sans-serif;">So I tried to look for a bran muffin recipe that was: 1) simple and easy  2) didn't use white sugar or white flour and 3) healthy.  I came across the Eat Clean Diet website for <a href="http://www.eatcleandiet.com/the_kitchen_table/recipe/recipe.aspx?id=188" target="_blank">Blueberry Bran Muffins</a> and had to give it a try! </span><br />

337. <br />
338. <span style="font-family: Arial,Helvetica,sans-serif;">They turned out beautiful!  Maybe it's just me, but I thought they were a little on the sweet side.  Hubby didn't complain that they were too sweet.  Nor did the kids.  Next time, </span><span style="font-family: Arial,Helvetica,sans-serif;"> I will try use 1/3 cup honey instead of 1/2 cup and see if anyone notices the difference.  </span><br />

382. Blueberry muffins are a classic staple in our household.  When blueberries are in season and <b>on sale</b>, I buy as much as I can and freeze them on cookie sheets so we can enjoy them year-round.  </div>

390. I have made many muffins and realized that I learned how to make muffins <i>way back</i> in my Grade 8 Home Economics class.  In just a few short years, my kiddies will be old enough to make this!  </div>
391. <div style="font-family: Arial,Helvetica,sans-serif;">
392. <br /></div>
393. <div style="font-family: Arial,Helvetica,sans-serif;">
394. Muffins are easy to make but I was in search of a recipe that was fluffy, fruity, lightly sweetened, moist and not dense.  My old stand-by recipe was pretty good but not as moist as I would have liked.   Then I decided to try the Blueberry Muffin recipe from <a href="http://www.amazon.com/exec/obidos/ASIN/0936184744/elisecom" target="_blank">The New Best Recipe</a> cookbook as posted on <a href="http://simplyrecipes.com/recipes/blueberry_muffins/" target="_blank">www.simplyrecipes.com</a>.  I needed to use up some plain yogurt.    </div>
395. <div style="font-family: Arial,Helvetica,sans-serif;">
396. <br /></div>
397. <div style="font-family: Arial,Helvetica,sans-serif;">
398. Boy, was I surprised how moist and fluffy they turned out!  Almost as fluffy as a cupcake, yet still a muffin.  Of course, I didn't follow the recipe exactly but close enough to get what I was looking for.  I never would have thought that plain yogurt is the trick! </div>

468. the excess liquid, and then coat them in a light dusting of flour.</span><br />
469. <br />
470. <span style="font-family: Arial,Helvetica,sans-serif;">Use standard 12-muffin muffin tins.  Coat each muffin cup

473. Distribute the muffin dough equally among the cups. <span style="color: #274e13;">Sprinkle tops with a little cinnamon sugar, if desired.  </span>Bake until muffins
474. are golden brown, about 25 to 30 minutes.  Test with a long toothpick
475. (we use a thin bamboo skewer) to make sure the centers of the muffins
