Carrot-Orange Bran Muffins :: Recipe

I’ve been craving carrot-orange muffins since I saw them at Tim Horton’s a few weeks ago. Unfortunately, everything at Tim Horton’s seems to be loaded with sugar, so I decided to make my own.

These carrot-orange muffins are made with bran and are low-sugar to boot. If you want them celiac-friendly you can use gluten-free flour.

Might have to try that. I love the texture of bran, orange and who doesn’t like a muffin!?

What the heck is “chia”? And where does one find such a thing?

  Type of seed like flax that has excellent health properties. http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Chia_seed#Food_preparation
  
  The outer casing, when mixed with water, creates a gel that helps keep baked goods moist without use of oils.
  
  They can be found at most health food stores.

Never put the muffins in the fridge; they dry out. Instead, freeze them and then take them out a few hours before needed. They’ll stay fresh and moist.
