Blueberry Bran Muffins

Healthier recipe #1! Blueberry Bran muffins...

I've been messing with banana bread recipes for awhile. A few weeks ago I decided to switch it up a little bit  with bran muffins. My mom used to make bran muffins when I was little and I liked them despite the fact that they were supposed to be "healthy." And by healthy we all know the bran muffins are still muffins, filled with lots of calories, even if they have a ton of fiber in them...but maybe what makes them healthy is that you don't have time to really absorb any of the calories before you poop them out (is that TMI for a baking blog?).

I started with an online recipe. The only substitutions I made were to use a low calorie brown sugar blend (half stevia/half sugar so half the calories!) and all whole wheat flour. They were pretty good. The boy said he really liked them. I'm not sure I liked the half and half sugar blend...I think it tasted too fake with the real sweetener from the blueberries.
