Well, well. By including Bran-Berry Muffins in a book about cake, Dorie confirms what I’ve suspected all along: muffins are cake for breakfast. But this isn’t just any book about cakes, this is a book about “anytime cakes.” Applying logic similar to the transitive property of equality, I have concluded that these are “anytime muffins.” That’s baking math that works in my favor, as I usually have my muffins for dessert. There’s no way I’m getting up early enough to have them made in the morning.

These muffins were easy to make and didn’t leave a full sink of dishes. If you are a morning person, they are probably pretty do-able. They have whole wheat four, plus bran or germ, yogurt, honey and berries (I used frozen bloobs and raspberries), so I guess we can say they are pretty breakfasty. But they’re also sweet enough that nobody complained when I plated them up after dinner.

If you don’t have the book Dorie’s Anytime Cakes by Dorie Greenspan, get it and join us as we bake through it every third Tuesday of the month. Don’t forget to check out the rest of the TWD Blogroll and all the other participation deets over on Tuesdays with Dorie!

Cute photo. I agree muffins are cake without frosting but these were on the ‘good for you side’.
