Raisin Oatmeal Bran Muffins image

Though there are many good raisin bran muffins on the site, there are none quite like these. The addition of oatmeal helps keep these low-fat muffins moist and tender. The original recipe comes from one of my mom's many muffin cookbooks, wish I remembered which one. I've played with it a bit but this is close.

Tips:

  • Use ripe bananas: The riper the bananas, the sweeter and more flavorful your muffins will be. You can also use overripe bananas that have brown spots on the skin.
  • Don't overmix the batter: Overmixing the batter will make your muffins tough. Mix the batter just until the ingredients are combined.
  • Fill the muffin tins evenly: Fill each muffin tin evenly with batter, about 2/3 full. This will help ensure that the muffins bake evenly.
  • Bake the muffins until a toothpick inserted into the center comes out clean: The muffins are done baking when a toothpick inserted into the center comes out clean. Be careful not to overbake the muffins, or they will be dry.
  • Let the muffins cool before enjoying: Let the muffins cool in the muffin tins for a few minutes before transferring them to a wire rack to cool completely. This will help prevent the muffins from crumbling.

Conclusion:

These healthy oat bran raisin muffins are a delicious and nutritious way to start your day. They are packed with fiber, protein, and healthy fats, and they are also low in sugar. They are perfect for a quick breakfast or snack, and they can also be enjoyed as a dessert.
