Cream Cheese Bran Muffins

Happy Sunday!  How was your weekend so far?

I just made these bran muffins.  The house smells delicious, I purchased four new jumbo and puffy pillows today, along with some dark chocolate filled with orange cream. Life is good.

And so were these muffins...

I find most of my recipes from other food blogs, magazines, and my favorite handy IPhone App, Allrecipes.  I swear one of these days my phone will get a lot of butter on it or fall and shatter in the porcelain sink and get soaked and die.  Until then, I will keep using it to cook awesome recipes.  Who uses paper anymore? Really? Well, I found this muffin recipe in a Kraft magazine. I just couldn't pass it up. Cream cheese filled muffins?  Yes please!

The best and unique part about these?  The cream cheese eliminates the need for butter.  I mean, you could probably fill these muffins up with cubes of butter, but that would probably be a runny mess.  The cream cheese stays put and also gives a tangy taste to the muffins.  These are really different and really GOOD.

I'm actually liking a bowl of All-Bran cereal lately.  When I bought a box for this recipe, I had a bowl with skim one morning for breakfast. It's pretty yummy and it's definitely one of those filling cereals.

Give them a whirl for breakfast tomorrow!
