MOIST JUMBO BANANA WHEAT/OAT BRAN MUFFINS



Moist Jumbo Banana Wheat/Oat Bran Muffins image

Moist and flavorful these can be made with oat or wheat bran depending on what you have. You can put your choice of nuts (my fav is walnuts) or dried fruit and vary the amount of mashed banana and they still come out great. Since I started using this recipe 5 years ago, I have kept these muffins on hand in our freezer. I save my brown bananas, freeze them and when I get a good amount puree them in my cuisinart so I can triple the batch of muffins. You can also make these as regular size muffins. The batch would make 12 muffins and bake time would decrease to 15 minutes or so.

Provided by Beth M.

Categories     Pancakes

Time 1h

Number Of Ingredients 14

3/4 c whole wheat pancake mix
1 c all purpose flour
NOTE: FOR MUFFINS WITH RAISIN BRAN CEREAL, USE 1 & 1/2 CUPS ALL-PURPOSE FLOUR ONLY.
1 Tbsp oil for muffins; 1/3 cup for bread recipe
1 small container applesauce for muffins.
1 egg for muffins; 2 eggs for bread.
1 c fat free milk for muffins; 1/4 cup milk for bread.
1 Tbsp baking powder for muffins; only 1 & 1/2 tsp. for bread.
1/3 c light brown sugar for muffins; 1/2 cup gran.sugar for bread.
1 tsp cinnamon for either recipe.
1 c chopped granny smith apple
1 c coarsely chopped walnuts
or two mashed ripe bananas, and optional 1/2 cup chopped walnuts for bread.
quick bread also includes baking soda

Steps:

  • 1. Full directions are on the box of whole wheat pancake mix, by A.J. THESE ARE WONDERFUL RECIPES, WHICH I WILL USE MANY TIMES. THEY ARE QUICK, EASY AND PERFECT.
  • 2. The Apple-Walnut Muffins are made in several steps: First you measure the dry ingredients into a large bowl, and set aside.
  • 3. In a medium sized bowl, mix one egg, one cup milk, one tablespoon oil, one small or individual-size serving of "Natural" apple sauce (unsweetened); and blend together.
  • 4. Measure out one and one/half cups of POST Raisin Bran Cereal, and stir into the liquid ingredients.
  • 5. The Granny Smith apple needs to be cored, peeled and shredded. I prefer to use one large G.S. Apple. I also use 1 cup of chopped walnuts, coarsely chopped.
  • 6. Combine the wet ingredients with the dry ingredients in the large bowl and stir in the apple and walnuts.
  • 7. Have a twelve-cup Medium-size muffin pan sprayed with oil, and an ice-cream scoop also sprayed with oil ready. The oven should be preheated to 425 degrees.
  • 8. Scoop the batter into the muffin tin and bake for at least 25 minutes. Remove tin and let rest on the counter on a cake rack for a few minutes, then loosen muffins. Enjoy one (or two) while warm with a nice hot cup of coffee for breakfast each morning! We do!

WHOLE WHEAT BANANA MUFFINS (HEALTHY!)



Whole Wheat Banana Muffins (Healthy!) image

These muffins are a healthy option because of the wheat flour and flax seed. The sugar could probably be reduced further, if desired, but I haven't tried to do that yet. If you don't want to use the wheat flour, just use 1 1/2 cups all-purpose flour. I add some quick oats to the topping, for presentation. Also good in a mini-muffin pan!

DAIRY FREE WHOLE WHEAT BANANA OAT MUFFINS



Dairy Free Whole Wheat Banana Oat Muffins image

I was trying to come up with a Dairy free muffin recipe low on sugar and oils. This came out pretty well. Not too sweet. Next time I'll try adding nuts and raisins or chopped cranberries. I didn't add any flavorings; but a little vanilla may make it taste less bread like. Also, I didn't actually use applesauce, I peeled, chopped and baked a fresh apple and added that; but the website won't let me add mashed apple as an ingredient.

Tips:

  • To ensure moist and fluffy muffins, do not overmix the batter. Overmixing can result in dense and dry muffins.

  • If you don't have buttermilk, you can make your own by adding 1 tablespoon of lemon juice or vinegar to regular milk and letting it sit for 5 minutes.
  • For a crispy muffin top, sprinkle a little sugar on top of the muffins before baking.
