Ingredients
- 1 1/4 cups all-purpose flour
- 1/2 cup oats (large flake oats - not quick)
- 1/2 cup natural bran
- 1 1/2 teaspoons baking powder
- 1 teaspoon baking soda
- 1/4 teaspoon salt
- 1 large egg (lightly beaten)
- 1/3 cup oil (any oil will work)
- 1 cup brown sugar, packed
- 1 cup mashed banana (about 3 very ripe bananas, mash with fork)
- 1/2 cup buttermilk (or 1/2 cup sour milk)
- 2 tablespoons molasses (or 2 tablespoons corn syrup)
- 3/4 cup raisins
- 1/3 cup walnuts (chopped)
How to Make
-
Step 1: Preheat oven to 350 degrees F.
-
Step 2: Line 12 muffin tins with paper liners.
-
Step 3: In a bowl, whisk flour, oats, bran, baking powder, baking soda and salt.
-
Step 4: In another bowl, whisk egg, oil and brown sugar together.
-
Step 5: In a small bowl mix together the mashed banana, buttermilk and molasses; mix into the oil mixture until well combined (If you are adding in a chopped apple, peel the apple now, then mix it in with the flour mixture).
How to Make
-
Step 6: Make a well in the center of the flour mixture. Add in the banana/oil mixture stirring with a wooden spoon or a spatula only to combine (do not overmix, don't worry about any lumps).
-
Step 7: Gently stir in raisins and nuts.
-
Step 8: Divide evenly between prepared muffin cups (almost to the top).
-
Step 9: Bake for 20-22 minutes, or until muffins tops spring back when lightly touched, and a toothpick comes out clean when inserted in the center of the muffin.
