BANANA BRAN MUFFINS
After trying a lot of disappointing bran muffins, I came up with this one. The spices give a little more punch, while the raisins and nuts add iron and additional fiber. It's a great way to use up ripe bananas.

BAREFOOT CONTESSA'S BLUEBERRY COFFEE CAKE MUFFINS
Adapted from the Barefoot Contessa Family Style Cookbook, 2002. At the intro of this recipe Ina Garten says that there were days that her specialty food shop would bake 2,000 of these muffins on a Saturday morning and by 9:30AM, they would all be gone! I changed the recipe just a bit, instead of using 2 1/2 cups all-purpose white flour, I split the flour between all-purpose white flour and wheat flour. You don't have to do this, if you don't want to. I always try to incorporate wheat flour into recipes that call for flour.

Tips:
- For the best flavor, use very ripe bananas. The riper the bananas, the sweeter and more flavorful the muffins will be.
- Mash the bananas well before adding them to the batter. This will help to ensure that the muffins are evenly mixed and have a smooth texture.
- Do not overmix the batter. Overmixing can result in tough muffins.
- Fill the muffin cups only about 2/3 full. This will allow the muffins to rise properly without overflowing.
- Bake the muffins until a toothpick inserted into the center comes out clean.
- Let the muffins cool in the pan for a few minutes before transferring them to a wire rack to cool completely.
Conclusion:
These chunky banana bran muffins are a delicious and easy-to-make treat that are perfect for breakfast, lunch, or a snack. They are packed with flavor and are sure to be a hit with everyone who tries them. So next time you have some ripe bananas on hand, be sure to give this recipe a try.
