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.

WHEAT BRAN MUFFINS RECIPE - (4.6/5)



Wheat Bran Muffins Recipe - (4.6/5) image

Provided by mirelsonp

Number Of Ingredients 12

1/2 cup boiling water
1 1/2 cups unprocessed wheat bran, divided
1/4 cup butter, cut up
2 cups all-purpose flour
1 tsp. baking soda
1/2 tsp. salt
1 cup chopped pitted dates
1 cup peeled and chopped apple
1 egg, lightly beaten
1 cup buttermilk
3/4 cup packed light brown sugar
2 tsp. vanilla

Steps:

  • 1. Preheat oven to 400 degrees F. Coat twelve 2 1/2-inch muffin cups with nonstick cooking spray or line with paper bake cups and coat bake cups with cooking spray. Set pan aside. 2. In a small bowl combine the boiling water, 1/2 cup of the wheat bran, and the butter, stirring until butter is melted. 3. In a bowl stir together the remaining 1 cup wheat bran, the flour, baking powder, baking soda, and salt. In a bowl combine dates, apple, egg, buttermilk, brown sugar, and vanilla. Stir the bran-butter mixture and flour mixture into egg mixture. 4. Spoon batter into the prepared muffin cups, filling each three-fourths full. Bake 15 minutes or until a toothpick inserted in the centers comes out clean. Set aside 5 minutes or until cool enough to handle, then remove muffins and serve warm.

Tips:

  • Muffin Tin Preparation: Ensure your muffin tin is properly greased or lined with muffin liners to prevent muffins from sticking.
  • Measuring Ingredients: Use accurate measuring cups and spoons to ensure the correct proportions of ingredients for a successful recipe.
  • Mixing the Batter: Avoid overmixing the batter, as this can result in tough muffins. Mix just until the ingredients are well combined.
  • Filling the Muffin Cups: Fill each muffin cup about 2/3 full to allow for expansion during baking.
  • Baking Time and Temperature: Bake the muffins according to the recipe's specified time and temperature. Over-baking can dry out the muffins.
  • Muffin Top Variations: Experiment with different muffin top variations such as streusel, crumb topping, or a sprinkle of nuts or seeds for added flavor and texture.
  • Muffin Storage: Store leftover muffins in an airtight container at room temperature for a few days or in the freezer for longer storage.
