How to Make Banana Berry Wheat Germ Muffins

1. Preheat oven to 400°F (200°C). Spray a jumbo muffin tin (or 12-cup standard muffin tin) with nonstick cooking spray.
2. In a medium bowl, whisk together 2 cups all-purpose flour, ½ cup wheat germ, ½ cup Splenda (or other granulated sweetener), 2 teaspoons baking soda, 1 teaspoon baking powder, and ½ teaspoon salt.
3. In a large bowl, whisk together 3 ripe mashed bananas (about 1 ½ cups), ½ cup milk, ½ cup plain yogurt, ¼ cup vegetable oil, and 2 large egg whites.
4. Gently pour the dry ingredients into the wet ingredients and stir until just combined. Do not overmix.
5. Gently fold in 1 cup mixed berries (fresh or frozen).
6. Spoon batter into muffin cups, filling each about ¾ full.
7. Top each muffin with ½ teaspoon of your favorite jam (optional).
8. Bake jumbo muffins for 20-25 minutes, or standard muffins for 15-20 minutes, or until a toothpick inserted into the center comes out clean.
9. Let cool in the tin for a few minutes before transferring to a wire rack to cool completely.
