How to Make Banana Carrot Apple Oat Bran Muffins

  1. Preheat oven to 400°F (200°C). Line a muffin tin with paper liners.

  4. Gradually add the dry ingredients to the wet ingredients, mixing until just combined. Do not overmix.
  5. Gently fold in 1 mashed ripe banana, 1 cup grated carrots, and 1 cup chopped apple.
  6. Fill muffin cups about ¾ full.
  7. Bake for 18-22 minutes, or until a toothpick inserted into the center comes out clean.
  8. Let cool in the muffin tin for a few minutes before transferring to a wire rack to cool completely.

Chef's Tip for Extra Flavor

Chef's secret: layers of flavor make a dish truly memorable! Consider what a little extra something could bring – perhaps a touch of acidity like a good vinegar or citrus zest, a hint of smokiness from paprika, a bit of umami from mushrooms or soy sauce, or a sprinkle of toasted nuts for texture. Experiment and taste as you go!
