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.

FANTASTIC BANANA BRAN MUFFINS



Fantastic Banana Bran Muffins image

This is a fantastic muffin that bakes out very high and moist, I have even added a finely chopped large apple into the flour mixture. If you prefer a sweeter muffin then add in more brown sugar. You can use 1-1/3 cup cake and pastry flour instead of all-purpose flour.
