Wheat Berry & Lemon Muffins

So Anne, I am finally getting around to posting the product review for Attune Foods. Thanks so much for sending the coupons. We picked up a box of Uncle Sam’s Original. It has whole wheat berry flakes & flax netting 10 grams fiber and a good bit of protein (7grams) per 3/4 cup serving. I was surprised that it only has 1 gram of sugar too!

Today we had a lunch date in the park, I packed the picnic basket and we enjoyed our lunch by the lake. I made a green salad with grapefruit, feta, and a sprinkle of the wheat berry flakes which added a nice crunch. (Camera died…no photos).
When I got back to the house, I decided to make some wheat berry muffins. Eric and I are always looking for a quick breakfast or snack, and these muffins will do the trick. I found a bran muffin recipe from joyofbaking and modified it a bit, and of course used my Attune cereal. 




This recipe makes a yummy muffin–crunchy, lemony, and Eric approved. I think I will freeze most of ’em so that we can grab and go breakfast next week. 

It’s Gpa’s 90th bday party this weekend so we are headed home. See you later.
