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.

1 1/2 c pure bran
2 Tbsp sugar

  • 8. This is what I have done to the recipe. I add a cup of raisins or other dried fruit or candies orange peel. I coat the muffin cups with Lecithin Vegetable Oil and add a tablespoon of honey or more (depend how big the muffin cups are). Then I add the bran muffin mix and bake. It give the bran muffins a wonderful glaze of honey...

Tips:

  • Choose ripe bananas: The riper the bananas, the sweeter and more flavorful your muffins will be.
  • Do not overmix the batter: Overmixing can make the muffins tough.
  • Fill the muffin cups only 2/3 full: This will allow the muffins to rise properly.
  • Bake the muffins until a toothpick inserted into the center comes out clean: Overbaking can make the muffins dry.
  • Let the muffins cool completely before frosting: This will help the frosting to set properly.
