Recipe: Blackberry Bran Muffins with Oxo

August 28, 2018

Throughout the summer, Bryce has been helping me cook and bake in the kitchen. It’s something we enjoy doing together, and it’s great to see him learn as he counts, measures and follows directions. We’ve been making a batch of muffins every week or so, trying new recipes each time. They are perfect to have on hand for quick breakfasts or snacks. This past week, we made an extra special recipe for a wonderful cause with OXO, a brand we love. OXO has a Cookies for Kids’ Cancer campaign, where OXO will donate up to $100,000 to the cause. In fact, they are donating $100 for this blog post. Bravo, Oxo!

As part of this donation, I got the chance create a recipe from a professional chef and supporter of CFKC using a set of baking products and tools to make a sweet treat. I opted to try these delicious blackberry bran muffins– they taste great and are filled with hearty grains, zucchini and blackberries…and Bryce loves them!

We had some great kitchen tools from OXO too. Having the right products definitely makes it simple and easy to bake!

  • Non-Stick Pro 12 Cup Muffin Pan – the nicest muffin pan that is durable, strong and easy to clean
  • Box Grater – can grate or slice on plate/cutting board or into the handy measuring container
  • Adjustable Measuring Cup – one convenient tool that measures dry, solid or liquid ingredients. And dishwasher safe!
  • GreenSaver -helps keep produce fresh longer!

Blackberry Bran Muffins, adapted from Chef Sarah Sanneh
Yield: 2 dozen muffins 

Ingredients

3 2/3 C flour (all purpose)

1 T baking soda

1 t salt

1 C bran (or quick oats)

1 1/2 C butter, melted and cooled to room temp (or 3/4 c unsweetened applesauce)

3/4 C light brown sugar, firmly packed

2/3 C molasses (or karo syrup)

1 C shredded zucchini

3 C sour cream

1 1/2 C blackberries

  1. Preheat oven to 350 degrees.
  2. Mix flour, baking soda, salt and bran together in a large bowl.
  3. Mix melted room temp butter with light brown sugar, molasses, zucchini, and sour cream.
  4. Mix wet into dry and gently fold in blackberries (try not to burst!)
  5. Fill a muffin tin with batter and bake for 30 min. Cool and enjoy!
    Freezer friendly too- we put half in a storage bag for later, and enjoyed half right away :-)

    […] OXO Adjustable Measuring Cup– I love to bake in the kitchen, and wish I had one of these sooner! It’s perfect for recipes requiring peanut butter, honey and other sticky ingredients since the silicone disk acts as a squeegee. Works with dry ingredients too and is dishwasher safe. I’ve made these no-bake lactation balls. And see it in action here. […]

The influences on kids these days are many, and it can be overwhelming to think of the lies and half-truths they hear (or will hear) on a daily basis. Though I can

    • #ad No matter what your dietary preferences might be, give @planetoat a try! I started a few years ago when I ditched the coffee creamer and now opt for a non dairy option. Planet Oat now has unsweetened flavors (original and vanilla) with zero grams of sugar and just 45 calories per serving! The taste is great, creamy and works well straight up in a glass, in coffee as a creamer substitute or mixed in a smoothie or overnight oats.

    • I am deeply grateful that our school has been able to be in person since the start of the school year last fall. A large part of that is due to the incredible staff and teachers like @carrie_dorst that pulls double duty not only as an amazing teacher day in and day out, but also as a disinfecting, social distancing, safety checking guru! We are so blessed to have people that care like you in our school, Carrie! Thank you for all you do! ♥️ Nominate a teacher to win a box of @sambucol products (teachers need all the immune
    • I’m sure you can relate…for those of you working from home/quarantining, you can’t resist the gravitational pull of the kitchen for a snack, am I right?!
