Recipe Information
Ingredients
- 3 large ripe bananas
- 1 cup milk
- 1.5 cups bran cereal
- 0.5 cup raisins
- 0.25 cup unsalted butter
- 0.5 cup granulated sugar
- 1 whole large egg
- 1 cup all-purpose flour
- 2 teaspoons baking powder
- 0.5 teaspoon baking soda
- 1 teaspoon ground cinnamon
- 0.25 teaspoon salt
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 until smooth. Stir in the milk and let it sit for 5 minutes.
Add the bran cereal to the banana mixture and mix well. Allow the mixture to sit for another 5 minutes so the bran softens.
In a small microwave-safe bowl, melt the unsalted butter and let it cool slightly. Stir the melted butter, granulated sugar, and the egg into the banana and bran mixture until well combined.
In a separate bowl, whisk together the all-purpose flour, baking powder, baking soda, ground cinnamon, and salt.
Gradually fold the dry ingredients into the wet banana-bran mixture, mixing just until combined. Do not overmix to ensure the muffins stay tender.
Gently fold in the raisins to evenly distribute them throughout the batter.
Divide the batter evenly among the prepared muffin cups, filling each about 3/4 full.
Bake in the preheated oven for 18–20 minutes, or until a toothpick inserted in the center of a muffin comes out clean.
Remove the muffins from the oven and let them cool in the pan for 5 minutes. Then transfer them to a wire rack to cool completely.
Enjoy warm or store in an airtight container at room temperature for up to 3 days.
