How to Make Banana Oat Bran Muffins With No Added Sugar

  1. Preheat oven to 425°F (220°C). Lightly grease or line a 12-cup muffin tin.
  2. In a large bowl, whisk together the dry ingredients: 1 ½ cups oat bran, ½ teaspoon baking soda, ½ teaspoon baking powder, ¼ teaspoon salt, 1 teaspoon cinnamon.
  3. In a separate bowl, mash 3 ripe bananas (about 1 ½ cups mashed). Add ⅓ cup milk (any kind), 2 large egg whites, and 2 tablespoons vegetable oil. Whisk until well combined.
  4. Gently pour the wet ingredients into the dry ingredients and mix until just combined. Do not overmix.
  5. Stir in ½ cup raisins (or other dried fruit).
  6. Fill each muffin cup about ¾ full.
  7. Bake for 18-25 minutes, or until a toothpick inserted into the center comes out clean. Start checking at 18 minutes.
  8. Let the muffins cool in the tin for a few minutes before transferring to a wire rack to cool completely.
