How to Make Healthy Banana Bran Muffins

  1. Preheat oven to 400°F (200°C). Line a 12-cup muffin tin with paper liners or grease the cups well.
  2. In a large bowl, mash 2 ripe bananas with a fork.
  3. Add 1 cup bran cereal, 1/2 cup milk (any kind), 1 large egg, and 2 tablespoons vegetable oil to the mashed bananas. Mix well.
  4. Let the batter stand for 5 minutes to allow the cereal to soften.
  5. Gently stir the batter to break up any remaining cereal clumps.
  6. In a separate bowl, whisk together 1 1/2 cups all-purpose flour, 1/2 cup brown sugar, 2 teaspoons baking powder, 1/2 teaspoon baking soda, 1/2 teaspoon ground cinnamon, 1/4 teaspoon ground nutmeg, and 1/2 cup chopped walnuts or pecans (optional).
  7. Add the dry ingredients to the wet ingredients all at once. Stir gently just until the batter is moistened – do not overmix.
  8. Divide the batter evenly among the prepared muffin cups (about a heaping tablespoon per cup).
  9. Bake for 20-25 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. Serve warm and enjoy!
