Recipe Information
Ingredients
- 3 medium Ripe bananas
- 1 large Egg
- 0.5 cup Milk
- 1 teaspoon Vanilla extract
- 0.25 cup Vegetable oil
- 1.5 cups Bran cereal
- 1 cup All-purpose flour
- 1 teaspoon Baking soda
- 1 teaspoon Baking powder
- 0.5 teaspoon Cinnamon
- 0.25 teaspoon Salt
- 0.5 cup Raisins
Instructions
Preheat your oven to 375°F (190°C) and line a 12-cup muffin tin with paper liners or lightly grease it.
In a large mixing bowl, mash the ripe bananas with a fork until smooth.
Add the egg, milk, vanilla extract, and vegetable oil to the mashed bananas. Whisk together until well combined.
Stir in the bran cereal and let the mixture sit for 5 minutes to allow the bran to soften.
In a separate bowl, whisk together the all-purpose flour, baking soda, baking powder, cinnamon, and salt.
Gradually fold the dry ingredients into the wet banana and bran mixture until just combined. Do not overmix.
Gently fold in the raisins until evenly distributed throughout the batter.
Divide the batter evenly among the 12 muffin cups, filling each about 3/4 full.
Bake in the preheated oven for 18–22 minutes, or until a toothpick inserted into the center of a muffin comes out clean.
Remove the muffins from the oven and allow them to cool in the muffin tin for 5 minutes before transferring them to a wire rack to cool completely.
Serve warm or at room temperature. Store leftovers in an airtight container at room temperature for up to 3 days.
