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.

Time 45m

Number Of Ingredients 9

2 c whole wheat flour
1 1/2 c pure bran
2 Tbsp sugar
1 tsp salt
1 1/4 tsp baking soda
2 c buttermilk
1 egg
1/2 c dark molasses
2 Tbsp melted butter

Steps:

  • 1. Combine flour, bran, sugar, salt, and soda. Mix well.
  • 2. combine buttermilkd, egg, molassses and butter.
  • 3. Add all at one to dry ingredients.
  • 4. Stir enough to moisten flour mixture.
  • 5. Fill GREASED muffin cups 2/3 full.
  • 6. Bake at 350* for 20 to 25 mintues.
  • 7. Makes about 24 muffins.
  • 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:

  • Use fresh baking soda and baking powder. Old baking soda and baking powder can lose their potency, which can result in flat or dense muffins.
  • Don't overmix the batter. Overmixing can develop the gluten in the flour, which can also result in tough muffins.
  • Fill the muffin cups only about 2/3 full. Overfilling the cups can cause the muffins to overflow and make a mess.
  • Bake the muffins at a high temperature for a short amount of time. This will help to create a crispy crust and a moist interior.
  • Let the muffins cool for a few minutes before removing them from the muffin tins. This will help to prevent them from breaking apart.

Conclusion:

Moist bran muffins are a delicious and nutritious breakfast option that can be enjoyed by people of all ages. They are easy to make and can be customized to suit your own taste preferences. With a little practice, you can create perfect moist bran muffins every time.
