FARM FRESH BANANA BRAN MUFFINS

I was looking for a muffin recipe with calorie-reduced ingredients and came across this one on a handout advertising "Country Crock" margarine. I was told not to substitute with any other margarine, or it would not turn out. They are great!

Time 35m

Yield 12 serving(s)

Number Of Ingredients 12

1 cup all-purpose flour
1/2 cup packed brown sugar
1/4 teaspoon salt
1 1/2 teaspoons baking powder
1/2 teaspoon baking soda
1 1/2 cups natural bran
1/2 cup chopped nuts (optional)
1 teaspoon cinnamon
2 large eggs, beaten
1 cup mashed ripe banana
1/2 cup milk
1/2 cup country crock churn style margarine (melted) or 1/2 cup original country crock calorie-reduced margarine

Steps:

  • In a large bowl combine all dry ingredients plus bananas and nuts.
  • In a small bowl beat eggs with milk and melted margarine (Calorie-reduced Country Crock should be melted only partially, then stirred, to prevent fat separation and to allow accurate measuring.) Stir moist ingredients into dry ingredients, just until combined.
  • Avoid overmixing; batter should be lumpy.
  • Spoon batter into greased lined muffins cups and bake at 400°F for 18-20 minutes.

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 cup large-diced bananas
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.

Tips:

  • Measure ingredients accurately: Baking is a science, and precise measurements are key to successful muffins. Use a kitchen scale for dry ingredients and measuring cups for wet ingredients.
  • Use ripe bananas: The riper the bananas, the sweeter and more flavorful your muffins will be. Look for bananas with yellow skin and brown spots.
  • Don't overmix the batter: Overmixing the batter can result in tough, dense muffins. Mix just until the ingredients are combined.
  • Fill the muffin cups evenly: Fill each muffin cup about 2/3 full. This will help the muffins rise evenly.
  • Bake the muffins at the right temperature: The ideal oven temperature for baking banana bran muffins is 375°F (190°C). A lower temperature will result in undercooked muffins, while a higher temperature will result in overcooked muffins.
  • Let the muffins cool before serving: Let the muffins cool in the muffin pan for a few minutes before transferring them to a wire rack to cool completely. This will help prevent the muffins from breaking apart.

Conclusion:

Farm-fresh banana bran muffins are a delicious and wholesome treat that can be enjoyed for breakfast, lunch, or a snack. With their moist texture, sweet banana flavor, and crunchy bran topping, these muffins are sure to be a hit with everyone who tries them. So next time you're looking for a quick and easy recipe for a tasty muffin, give these farm-fresh banana bran muffins a try.
