Banana PB Raspberry Muffin & A Giveaway!

It's my 100th post!  Can you believe it?  When I started this blog in March 2012 I wasn't sure what direction it would take or if I would even keep it up. I knew I had a lot of favourite recipes to share but would I continue to find things worth talking about?  Writing here has become a great hobby and inspired a whole bunch of new recipes.  Sometimes when we are eating supper one of the kids will say, "this definitely needs to go on the blog."  It makes me smile.

Greek Yogurt Berry Bran Muffins

Trying to fill the kids' lunches with new items that are both tasty and healthy is an ongoing challenge.  Sometimes I am successful and other times, they figure me out and demand to know where the sugar has gone.  These muffins were a hit with both kids and the adults.  A bit more dense than your average muffin, you can taste the goodness in each bite.  I've replaced the sugar with maple syrup and coconut oil fills in where perhaps butter or vegetable oil would exist in the past.  The recipe specifies Greek yogurt, because that is my first choice to up the protein in them.  I have made them with regular yogurt and even a flavoured one and it works just as well.  Vanilla or strawberry yogurt lends a sweetness and the muffins are a little lighter from the moisture content of the yogurt.
