Recipe Information
Ingredients
- 1 cup All-purpose flour
- 1 cup Wheat bran
- 1 teaspoon Baking powder
- 1 teaspoon Baking soda
- 1 teaspoon Ground cinnamon
- 0.5 teaspoon Salt
- 3 medium Ripe bananas
- 1 large Egg
- 0.5 cup Milk
- 0.5 cup Plain Greek yogurt
- 0.3 cup Honey
- 1 teaspoon Vanilla extract
- 0.5 cup Chopped walnuts or pecans (optional)
Instructions
Preheat your oven to 375°F (190°C). Line a 12-count muffin tin with paper liners, or lightly grease the muffin cups if you prefer not to use liners.
In a large mixing bowl, combine the all-purpose flour, wheat bran, baking powder, baking soda, ground cinnamon, and salt. Mix well and set aside.
In another mixing bowl, mash the bananas thoroughly using a fork or potato masher until smooth. Add the egg, milk, Greek yogurt, honey, and vanilla extract. Whisk together until the mixture is well combined.
Pour the wet ingredients into the bowl with the dry ingredients. Stir gently with a spatula or wooden spoon until just combined. Be careful not to overmix—it's okay if there are a few lumps.
If desired, fold in the chopped walnuts or pecans for added texture and flavor.
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 or with just a few moist crumbs.
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 your Fantastic Banana Bran Muffins warm or at room temperature. Store leftovers in an airtight container at room temperature for up to 3 days, or in the refrigerator for up to a week.
