Heritage Flake Muffins

There is something real special about turning a cereal into a flour!

These muffins were created with whole, nutritious food in mind. When I was asked to create something using Nature’s Path Heritage Flakes I immediately thought of a healthy take on a bran muffin. When I had the ripest bananas known to man on my counter and walnuts in my freezer I knew what had to be done and the muffins were born. Grinding the cereal into a “flour” created this nutty, depth that was just perfect.

Notes

I highly recommend freezing leftovers. They freeze wonderfully.
