Triple-Fruit Bran Muffins: Better Than Christmas Cake
Triple-Fruit Bran Muffins: Better Than Christmas Cake.
Or British Royal Wedding Cake.
And you won’t hear anyone make fruity jokes
about these delicious, moist, fluffy bran muffins!
I hear you.
You’re saying, “Well, anything is better than Christmas cake.”
Yes, Christmas cake always gets a bad rap. Sigh. I totally get it. And apparently the fruit cakes traditionally served at British royal weddings is sort of the same, and just as tasteless.
But my husband’s mother made a fruit cake at Christmas that I actually liked. The only trouble was, I didn’t like it enough to waste my carb calories on fruit cake. There were too many other things I liked better.
Well, these muffins aren’t really competing with fruit cake.
They’re in an altogether different category. Like the fluffy and light yummy category.
Although the color of these fruit and nut filled muffins do resemble Christmas cake in looks, there is no other comparison.
Triple-Fruit Bran Muffins
My husband brought one of these home from work one day. One of his clients gave it to him, and when I saw him enjoying his gift, I had to have a bite.
One blissful bite was enough.
I got her phone number from his client list and explained I was her landscaper’s wife, and did she share her recipes. She kindly sent me the recipe, and the rest is the stuff of fairy tales.
If you like fairy tales including bran and dried fruit and coconut. Which I do.
And I think you will, too.
Let your fingers do the walking before you go shopping for the ingredients, though. Not every grocery store carries the cereals or golden raisins you need.
