Late Night Baking

Pin It

It's half past twelve and I find myself once again in the kitchen while everyone else is sound asleep.  The cupboard doors are wide open, the sink is over flowing with dishes, flour is on the floor, and a spatula is in my hand.  Tonight it's Oat Bran Muffins inspired by the bran muffins my dad always used to make ...with a few modifications of course.  I have been in a baking frenzy stocking up on frozen goods to take with me to school on Saturday.  Gotta take advantage of the free food while I can ya know. :-)

Oh and by the way...these muffins are AWESOME.  Especially with chocolate chips!  Full of whole grains, natural sugars, carrots, and apples...Nutritious-n-Delicious.
