Ingredients

• 1 cup All-purpose flour
• 1 cup Wheat bran
• 1 teaspoon Baking powder
• 1 teaspoon Baking soda
• 1 teaspoon Ground cinnamon
• 0.5 teaspoon Salt
• 3 medium Ripe bananas
• 1 large Egg
• 0.5 cup Milk
• 0.5 cup Plain Greek yogurt
• 0.3 cup Honey
• 1 teaspoon Vanilla extract
• 0.5 cup Chopped walnuts or pecans (optional)

Directions

Step 1

Preheat your oven to 375°F (190°C). Line a 12-count muffin tin with paper liners, or lightly grease the muffin cups if you prefer not to use liners.

Step 2

In a large mixing bowl, combine the all-purpose flour, wheat bran, baking powder, baking soda, ground cinnamon, and salt. Mix well and set aside.

Step 3

In another mixing bowl, mash the bananas thoroughly using a fork or potato masher until smooth. Add the egg, milk, Greek yogurt, honey, and vanilla extract. Whisk together until the mixture is well combined.

Step 4

Pour the wet ingredients into the bowl with the dry ingredients. Stir gently with a spatula or wooden spoon until just combined. Be careful not to overmix—it's okay if there are a few lumps.

Step 5

If desired, fold in the chopped walnuts or pecans for added texture and flavor.

Step 6

Divide the batter evenly among the 12 muffin cups, filling each about 3/4 full.

Step 7

Bake in the preheated oven for 18-22 minutes, or until a toothpick inserted into the center of a muffin comes out clean or with just a few moist crumbs.

Step 8

Remove the muffins from the oven and let them cool in the pan for 5 minutes. Then transfer them to a wire rack to cool completely.

Step 9

Enjoy your Fantastic Banana Bran Muffins warm or at room temperature. Store leftovers in an airtight container at room temperature for up to 3 days, or in the refrigerator for up to a week.
