Servings: 13 muffins
Ingredients
- ½ cup wheat flour
- ½ cup all-purpose flour
- 1 cup bran flakes or Raisin Bran
- 1 teaspoon baking soda
- 1 teaspoon cinnamon
- ¼ teaspoon salt
- 3 medium very ripe bananas, well-mashed (~ 1 cup mashed bananas)
- 2 large eggs
- ½ cup Greek yogurt or buttermilk
- ½- 2/3 cup maple syrup
- ¼ cup or ½ stick unsalted butter or pureed ripe avocado, melted
- 1 teaspoon vanilla extract
- ½ cup walnuts chopped
Instructions
- Preheat the oven to 375 degrees F.
- Put cupcake liners in muffin pans. Spray the liners lightly with cooking spray, optional.
- In a medium-sized mixing bowl, mix the wheat flour, all-purpose flour, bran flakes, baking soda, cinnamon, and salt. Set aside.
- In a separate large bowl, whisk together the mashed bananas, eggs, yogurt, maple syrup, butter, and vanilla extract until well combined.
- Add dry ingredients to wet ingredients and stir. Do not overmix. Make sure that the bran flakes are completely coated with wet ingredients and no lumps of flour remain.
- Fold in walnuts until just combined.
- Fill each cupcake liner ⅔ of the way full with batter.
- Bake for 19 or 20 minutes, until a toothpick comes out clean.
Notes
You can leave the bran flakes whole or crushed. They will dissolve during the baking process unless they are in a pocket of flour. Make sure they are well incorporated into the wet ingredients to prevent this from happening.
