Ingredients

• 3 medium Ripe bananas
• 1 large Egg
• 0.5 cup Milk
• 1 teaspoon Vanilla extract
• 0.25 cup Vegetable oil
• 1.5 cups Bran cereal
• 1 cup All-purpose flour
• 1 teaspoon Baking soda
• 1 teaspoon Baking powder
• 0.5 teaspoon Cinnamon
• 0.25 teaspoon Salt
• 0.5 cup Raisins

Directions

Step 1

Preheat your oven to 375°F (190°C) and line a 12-cup muffin tin with paper liners or lightly grease it.

Step 2

In a large mixing bowl, mash the ripe bananas with a fork until smooth.

Step 3

Add the egg, milk, vanilla extract, and vegetable oil to the mashed bananas. Whisk together until well combined.

Step 4

Stir in the bran cereal and let the mixture sit for 5 minutes to allow the bran to soften.

Step 5

In a separate bowl, whisk together the all-purpose flour, baking soda, baking powder, cinnamon, and salt.

Step 6

Gradually fold the dry ingredients into the wet banana and bran mixture until just combined. Do not overmix.

Step 7

Gently fold in the raisins until evenly distributed throughout the batter.

Step 8

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

Step 9

Bake in the preheated oven for 18–22 minutes, or until a toothpick inserted into the center of a muffin comes out clean.

Step 10

Remove the muffins from the oven and allow them to cool in the muffin tin for 5 minutes before transferring them to a wire rack to cool completely.

Step 11

Serve warm or at room temperature. Store leftovers in an airtight container at room temperature for up to 3 days.
