Blueberry + Date Bran Muffins

My mum used to wake up super early before school, so she could make a batch perfectly timed to when we woke up. I always remember racing out to the kitchen to devour several of these bran muffins.

My little twist is adding frozen blueberries into the mixture, because well blueberries go with everything right? Well that is my stand point!

Once you make the base mixture you can really add in any mix ins, so let you imagination go wild!
