Recipe Information
Ingredients
- 3 large Bananas (ripe, mashed)
- 1.5 cups Whole wheat flour
- 0.75 cups Oat bran
- 0.5 cups Brown sugar (packed)
- 2 teaspoons Baking powder
- 1 teaspoon Baking soda
- 1 teaspoon Ground cinnamon
- 0.25 teaspoons Salt
- 2 large Eggs (room temperature)
- 0.5 cups Greek yogurt (plain, unsweetened)
- 0.25 cups Milk (any type)
- 1 teaspoon Vanilla extract
- 0.5 cups Chopped walnuts or pecans (optional)
Instructions
Preheat your oven to 375°F (190°C) and lightly grease a jumbo muffin tin or line it with jumbo muffin liners.
In a large mixing bowl, mash the bananas thoroughly until smooth.
Add the eggs, Greek yogurt, milk, and vanilla extract to the mashed bananas. Stir until well combined.
In a separate bowl, whisk together the whole wheat flour, oat bran, brown sugar, baking powder, baking soda, cinnamon, and salt.
Gradually add the dry ingredients to the wet ingredients, stirring gently just until combined. Do not overmix to avoid dense muffins.
If desired, fold in the chopped walnuts or pecans for added texture.
Evenly divide the batter among the prepared muffin cups, filling each about three-quarters full.
Bake in the preheated oven for 18-22 minutes, or until a toothpick inserted into the center of a muffin comes out clean.
Allow the muffins to cool in the tin for 5 minutes before transferring them to a wire rack to cool completely.
Serve warm or at room temperature. These muffins can be stored in an airtight container for up to 3 days or frozen for longer storage.
