Ingredients
-
1/2 cup brown sugar, packed
-
1/2 cup white sugar
-
1 cup hot buttermilk (heat in microwave until hot)
-
1 cup all-bran cereal
-
1/2 cup vegetable oil
-
2 teaspoons vanilla
-
1 1/2 cups flour
-
1/2 teaspoon salt
-
1/2 teaspoon baking soda
-
2 1/2 teaspoons baking powder
-
1/2-1 teaspoon cinnamon
-
1 cup raisins
-
1/2 chopped walnuts
-
1 large egg
-
3/4 cup pureed banana (1 cup is okay also)
Instructions
- Set oven to 375 degrees F.
- Set the oven rack to second lowest position.
- Spray 12 muffin cups with non-stick cooking spray, and line with paper liners.
- Set the muffin trays on a baking sheet (the baking sheet is optional).
- In a medium bowl stir the HOT buttermilk together with the All Bran cereal, and let stand for about 6 minutes.
- Meanwhile puree the banana.
- After the 6 minutes, transfer the bran mixture to a large bowl, and add in the pureed banana; mix to combine.
- Mix the two sugars together, then add to the bran/banana mixture with the egg, vanilla and oil; blend well to combine.
- Mix together the flour, salt, baking soda, baking powder and cinnamon; add to the banana mixture; mix gently to make a soft batter.
- Fold in nuts and raisins (if using).
- With an ice cream scoop, divide the batter evenly between the muffin cups.
- Bake about 22-28 minutes or until muffins test done.
- *NOTE* Although it is not necessary, I like to place the muffin tins on a baking sheet to bake in the oven.
