Categories     Food & Cooking     Breakfast & Brunch Recipes

Time 45m

Yield Makes 12

Number Of Ingredients 12

1 1/2 cups all-purpose flour (spooned and leveled)
2/3 cup oat bran
2 teaspoons baking powder
1/2 teaspoon baking soda
1/2 teaspoon ground cinnamon
1/4 teaspoon fine salt

  • In a large bowl, using a mixer, beat butter and 1/2 cup sugar on high until light and fluffy, about 6 minutes. Beat in eggs and vanilla until combined. With mixer on low, add flour mixture in 2 additions, alternating with buttermilk, and beat until combined. Fold in blackberries.
  • Divide batter among muffin cups and sprinkle with remaining 1 tablespoon sugar.

Tips:

  • Use ripe bananas: The riper the bananas, the sweeter and more flavorful your muffins will be.
  • Mash the bananas well: This will help to ensure that they are evenly distributed throughout the batter.
  • Don't overmix the batter: Overmixing can result in tough muffins.
  • Let the batter rest for a few minutes before baking: This will help the oats to absorb some of the liquid and produce a more tender muffin.
  • Bake the muffins until a toothpick inserted into the center comes out clean: Overbaking can result in dry muffins.

Conclusion:

These easy oat bran muffins are a delicious and healthy way to start your day. They are packed with fiber, protein, and antioxidants, and they are also low in sugar and calories. Whether you are looking for a quick and easy breakfast or a healthy snack, these muffins are a great option.
