Recipe Information
Ingredients
- 1.25 cups wheat bran
- 1 cup skim milk
- 2 medium ripe bananas (mashed)
- 0.25 cup honey
- 1 unit large egg
- 1 teaspoon vanilla extract
- 0.75 cup all-purpose flour
- 0.25 cup unsweetened cocoa powder
- 1 teaspoon baking soda
- 1 teaspoon baking powder
- 0.25 teaspoon salt
Instructions
Preheat your oven to 375°F (190°C) and lightly grease or line a 12-cup muffin tin with paper liners.
In a large bowl, combine the wheat bran and skim milk. Let it sit for about 5 minutes to allow the bran to soften.
Mash the ripe bananas in a separate bowl, then mix in the honey, egg, and vanilla extract until well combined.
Add the banana mixture to the bran and milk mixture. Stir until fully incorporated.
In another bowl, whisk together the all-purpose flour, cocoa powder, baking soda, baking powder, and salt.
Gradually add the dry ingredients to the wet ingredients, gently folding until just combined. Avoid overmixing to ensure tender muffins.
Divide the batter evenly among the 12 muffin cups, filling each about 3/4 full.
Bake in the preheated oven for 18-20 minutes, or until a toothpick inserted into the center of a muffin comes out clean.
Remove the muffins from the oven and let them cool in the tin for 5 minutes before transferring them to a wire rack to cool completely.
Enjoy these delicious banana cocoa bran muffins as a healthy snack or breakfast option!
