How to Make Moist Jumbo Banana Wheat Oat Bran Muffins

Preheat oven to 375°F (190°C).
Grease a jumbo muffin tin with 6 cups using non-stick spray or line with paper liners.
Mash 3 ripe medium bananas with a fork or puree in a food processor until smooth.
Chop 1/2 cup walnuts or your favorite nuts/dried fruit, if using.
In a medium bowl, beat 1 large egg and 1/2 cup granulated sugar, and 1/4 cup brown sugar until light and fluffy.
Add the mashed bananas, 1/3 cup vegetable oil, and 1 teaspoon vanilla extract to the wet ingredients; mix well.
In a large bowl, whisk together 2 cups all-purpose flour, 1 cup oat bran OR wheat bran, 2 teaspoons baking powder, 1 teaspoon baking soda, 1/2 teaspoon salt, and 1 teaspoon ground cinnamon.
Stir in the chopped nuts or dried fruit until evenly coated with the flour mixture.
Pour the wet banana mixture into the dry ingredients, gently folding until just combined. Do not overmix.
Fill the prepared jumbo muffin cups about ¾ full.
Bake for 21-23 minutes, or until a toothpick inserted into the center comes out with a few moist crumbs attached.
Let cool in the tin for a few minutes before transferring to a wire rack to cool completely. Enjoy!
