In Pembina, North Dakota, Alyce Wyman bakes up these moist muffins with a sweet nut topping. "The original recipe called for bran cereal with raisins," she says. "But I was out of that cereal one day, so I used plain bran flakes and added blueberries instead of raisins. Now I always make it this way."

Time 30m

Yield 12 serving(s)

Number Of Ingredients 10

2 1/2 cups all-purpose flour
2 teaspoons baking powder
1/2 teaspoon salt
1/2 teaspoon ground cinnamon
2 ripe bananas (quartered)
2 eggs
2/3 cup brown sugar (firmly packed)
6 tablespoons butter (melted)
1 teaspoon vanilla essence
1 1/2 cups berries (frozen as it seems to create moister muffins)

Steps:

  • Preheat oven to 400°F/ 204°C.
  • Grease or line 12 muffin cups.
  • Sift flour, baking powder, salt and cinnamon in a bowl.
  • Beat bananas in a large bowl with electric mixer until mashed, add eggs, brown sugar, butter and vanilla, beat until well mixed.
  • Stir in combined dry ingredients with a wooden spoon until almost blended. Stir in berries just until combined.
  • Spoon into prepared cups evenly. Bake 20-25 minutes or until golden. Cool on wire rack, enjoy.

Tips:

  • Choose ripe bananas: The riper the bananas, the sweeter and more flavorful your muffins will be.
  • Use fresh or frozen berries: Fresh berries are ideal, but frozen berries work well too. If using frozen berries, thaw them before adding them to the batter.
  • Don't overmix the batter: Overmixing the batter can result in tough muffins. Mix just until the ingredients are combined.
  • Fill the muffin cups about 2/3 full: This will prevent the muffins from overflowing.
  • Bake the muffins until a toothpick inserted into the center comes out clean: This usually takes about 20-25 minutes.
  • Let the muffins cool in the pan for a few minutes before transferring them to a wire rack: This will help prevent them from breaking.
  • Serve the muffins warm or at room temperature: They're best when enjoyed fresh.
