How to Make Best Banana Bran Muffins

1. Preheat oven to 400°F (200°C). Line a 12-cup muffin tin with paper liners.
2. In a large bowl, mash 2 large ripe bananas with a fork.
3. Add 1/3 cup vegetable oil, 2 large eggs, and ¾ cup granulated sugar to the mashed bananas. Beat well with a mixer or whisk until combined.
4. In a separate bowl, whisk together 1 ½ cups all-purpose flour, ½ cup bran cereal, ½ cup raisins, and ¼ cup sunflower seeds.
5. In a small bowl, combine 1 cup plain yogurt and 1 teaspoon baking soda. Let it sit for 5 minutes to activate the baking soda.
6. Gently fold the yogurt mixture into the wet ingredients (banana mixture).
7. Gradually add the dry ingredients (flour mixture) to the wet ingredients, mixing until just combined. Do not overmix.
8. Fill each muffin liner about ¾ full.
9. Bake for 18-20 minutes, or until a toothpick inserted into the center comes out clean.
10. Let the muffins cool in the tin for a few minutes before transferring them to a wire rack to cool completely.
