Time 40m

Yield 10 to 12 muffins

Number Of Ingredients 15

1 cup unprocessed wheat bran
1 cup buttermilk (shaken)
4 tablespoons unsalted butter, at room temperature
1/4 cup light brown sugar, lightly packed
2 extra-large eggs, at room temperature
6 tablespoons unsulphured molasses
1 teaspoon grated orange zest
1/2 teaspoon pure vanilla extract
1 1/2 cups all-purpose flour
3/4 teaspoon baking powder
1/4 teaspoon baking soda
1/2 teaspoon kosher salt
1 cup raisins

1/2 cup chopped walnuts

Steps:

  • Preheat the oven to 350 degrees F. Place paper liners into 1 (10 or 12-cup) muffin tin.
  • Combine the bran and buttermilk and set aside. Cream the butter and sugar in the bowl of an electric mixer fitted with the paddle attachment for about 5 minutes, until light and fluffy. With the mixer on low, add the eggs, 1 at a time. Scrape the bowl and then add the molasses, orange zest, and vanilla. (The mixture will look curdled.) Add the bran/buttermilk mixture and combine.
  • In a separate bowl, sift together the flour, baking powder, baking soda, and salt. With the mixer on low speed, slowly add the flour mixture to the batter just until combined. Don't overmix it! Fold in the raisins, bananas and walnuts with a rubber spatula.
  • With an ice cream scoop or large spoon, fill the muffin cups to the top and bake for 25 to 30 minutes, until a cake tester comes out clean.

BANANA BRAN MUFFINS



Banana Bran Muffins image

Moist, healthy banana bran muffins made with yogurt, honey and ripe bananas. Good for you and super yummy for filling breakfasts and snacks!

Provided by Erin Clarke / Well Plated

Categories     Breakfast

Time 47m

Number Of Ingredients 14

2/3 cup walnut halves
1 cup whole wheat flour*
1/2 teaspoon kosher salt
½ teaspoon baking powder
½ teaspoon baking soda
½ teaspoon ground cinnamon
1 cup mashed ripe banana (about 3 medium bananas)
½ cup honey
1/3 cup nonfat plain Greek yogurt (at room temperature)
1/4 cup canola oil (or light olive oil)
2 large eggs (at room temperature)
2 teaspoons pure vanilla extract
2½ cups wheat bran
1/2 cup additional mix-ins of choice:

Steps:

  • Preheat the oven to 350 degrees. Lightly coat a muffin pan with nonstick spray or fit with paper liners.
  • Spread the walnuts in a single layer on an ungreased rimmed baking sheet. Bake for 8 to 10 minutes, tossing once halfway through, until they are fragrant and toasted. Watch carefully to makes sure they do not burn. Transfer to a cutting board and roughly chop.
  • In a medium bowl, whisk together the whole wheat flour, salt, baking powder, baking soda, and cinnamon.
  • In a large bowl, combine the mashed bananas (if mashing them directly in the bowl, double-check to make sure you have 1 full cup, not more or less), honey, yogurt, oil, eggs, and vanilla.
  • Add the flour mixture to the bowl with the wet ingredients. By hand with a rubber spatula or wooden spoon, stir gently just until the flour disappears.
  • Gently stir in the wheat bran, walnuts, and any additional mix-ins, just until combined. The batter will be very thick.
  • Portion the batter into the muffin cups, dividing it evenly (I recommend using a batter scoop like this or try a 1/3 cup dry measuring cup).
  • Bake for 24 to 28 minutes, until the tops are golden brown, a toothpick inserted in the center of a muffin comes out clean, and the tops spring back lightly when touched. Allow to cool for 5 minutes in the pan, then gently unmold and transfer to a wire rack. Serve warm or at room temperature.
