Mmmm...for all those who were sitting on the edge of their seats, waiting for me to write something of note (or even something merely helpful), I'm sorry. After a long summer, I'm exhausted. I need a holiday to recover from my holiday.
Which is why I've become something of a Bree Van De Kamp (for all you people who have lives, this is a character from Desperate Housewives) and taken to cooking like Michelle Leslie took to wearing the burquah.
So here is my recipe for Brilliant Blueberry Bran Muffins. They are healthy and yummy, but most importantly, they will fit inside your Humphrey B. Bear lunchbox and you can take them to uni!!!
INGREDIENTS
1 cup oats
1 cup bran
3/4 cup skim/soy milk (I drink soy milk cos I'm lactose intolerant, and it has a nice nutty flavour, but skim milk will work just as well)
1 cup blueberries (you can also use mixed berries, like blackberries, strawberries, raspberries...you know...go to Coles and take a look!)
2 tbsp honey
1 tbsp canola oil
2 egg whites
1/2 cup coconut
METHOD
1. Blend oats and bran in a food processor until they are a powder-like consistency
2. Stir milk and egg whites into oat/bran mixture.
3. Add oil and honey, then slowly fold in coconut.
4. Add blueberries and gently stir.
5. Spoon into greased muffin pans and bake for 20 mins at 180 degrees.
6. Pack them in your lunchbox and watch everyone flock to you...you will be the flavour of the month (and if you keep this cooking caper up, the flavour of first semester!)
