MOIST JUMBO BANANA WHEAT/OAT BRAN MUFFINS
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.

- 4. Measure out one and one/half cups of POST Raisin Bran Cereal, and stir into the liquid ingredients.

- 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.

WHOLE WHEAT BANANA MUFFINS (HEALTHY!)
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
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.
