Description

This banana bran muffin recipe is easy to make with wheat bran cereal, crunchy walnuts, and lots of ripe bananas for a healthy breakfast or snack.

Ingredients

1/2 cup butter, softened
1/2 cup brown sugar
3 bananas, mashed
2 large eggs
1/4 cup milk
1 teaspoon vanilla extract
1 1/2 cups all-purpose flour
1/2 cup wheat bran
1 teaspoon baking powder
1 teaspoon baking soda
1/4 teaspoon salt
1/2 cup chopped walnuts

Directions

1 Preheat the oven to 375 degrees F (190 degrees C). Grease a muffin pan or line with paper liners.
2 Cream together butter and brown sugar in a large bowl with an electric mixer on medium speed until fluffy. Add mashed bananas, eggs, milk, and vanilla; mix well. Stir in flour, bran, baking powder, baking soda, and salt; blend just until moistened. Stir in walnuts. Pour batter into the prepared muffin cups.
3 Bake in the preheated oven until a toothpick inserted into the center of a muffin comes out clean, 20 to 25 minutes. Cool muffins in the pan for 5 minutes, then transfer to a wire rack to cool completely.
