Coconut Oat Bran Muffins #Christmas #Coconut

These wet and delicious Coconut Oat Bran muffins had been inspired via a field of Cracklin’ Oat Bran cereal that i bought over the summer season. Whilst buying in the cereal aisle, i spotted that addictively precise, crunchy, cookie-like cereal and – on a whim – offered a container.

Neglect about consuming it for breakfast,  at which factor I commented that it might be awesome to recreate the flvors as a Coconut Oat Bran desserts.
