How to Make Banana Bran Muffins Fruit Juice Sweetened

  1. Preheat oven to 350°F (175°C). Line a 12-cup muffin tin with paper liners or grease the cups.
  2. In a large bowl, whisk together 2 cups whole wheat flour, 1/2 cup bran cereal, 2 teaspoons baking powder, 1 teaspoon baking soda, 1/2 teaspoon salt, and 1 teaspoon ground cinnamon.
  3. In a separate bowl, mash 3 ripe bananas. Add 3 large egg whites and 1/2 cup fruit juice concentrate (apple, orange, or your favorite). Whisk until well combined.
  4. Gently fold the wet ingredients into the dry ingredients until just combined. Do not overmix.
  5. Fill each muffin cup about 2/3 full.
  6. Bake for 25-30 minutes, or until a toothpick inserted into the center comes out clean.
  7. Let the muffins cool in the tin for a few minutes before transferring them to a wire rack to cool completely.

Chef's Tip for Extra Flavor

Want to unlock deeper, more complex flavors? Try toasting your whole spices before grinding them, or blooming ground spices in a little warm oil to enhance their aroma. Deglazing your pan with a bit of stock, wine, or even water after browning ingredients can capture those tasty caramelized bits, adding richness to your dish.
