Recipe Information
Ingredients
- 3 large Ripe bananas
- 1 large Egg
- 60 ml Honey
- 1 teaspoon Vanilla extract
- 120 ml Milk
- 120 grams Oat bran
- 120 grams Whole wheat flour
- 2 teaspoons Baking powder
- 0.5 teaspoon Baking soda
- 1 teaspoon Cinnamon
- 0.5 teaspoon Salt
- 60 grams Chopped walnuts or chocolate chips (optional)
Instructions
Preheat your oven to 375°F (190°C) and line a 12-cup muffin pan with paper liners or grease the muffin wells.
In a large mixing bowl, mash the ripe bananas until smooth using a fork or potato masher.
Add the egg, honey, vanilla extract, and milk to the bananas and whisk until well combined.
In a separate bowl, combine the oat bran, whole wheat flour, baking powder, baking soda, cinnamon, and salt. Mix thoroughly.
Gradually add the dry ingredients to the wet ingredients, stirring just until combined. Be careful not to overmix.
If using, gently fold in the chopped walnuts or chocolate chips for added texture and flavor.
Divide the batter evenly among the prepared muffin cups, filling each about two-thirds 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 let them cool in the pan for 5 minutes, then transfer 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 or refrigerate for up to a week.
