The name of these muffins is so long I had to shorten it for the title of this post. The actual name of these muffins is….are you ready for it???
So Good You’ll Never Believe They’re Good For You Whole Wheat Cranberry Orange Muffins! Whew…*deep breath*
These really are so good, you really will forget they are “healthy”. Mine were made with freshly ground wheat berries bought in bulk (or you can use any whole wheat flour).
Since I am eating a gluten-free diet, I no longer make these. Once I lose all the weight I want to, I will add these back to my diet. As I will all the other healthy whole grain recipes I have. Whole grains are not bad for your health, but they are not good for weight loss.
