Ingredients

• 2 cups Bran cereal
• 1 cup Buttermilk
• 2 Ripe bananas
• 0.5 cup Honey
• 2 Large eggs
• 0.25 cup Vegetable oil
• 1 teaspoon Vanilla extract
• 1.5 cups All-purpose flour
• 2 teaspoons Baking powder
• 1 teaspoon Baking soda
• 1 teaspoon Ground cinnamon
• 0.5 teaspoon Salt
• 0.5 cup Chopped walnuts or raisins (optional)

Directions

Step 1

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

Step 2

In a large mixing bowl, combine the bran cereal and buttermilk. Stir to coat the cereal and let it soak for 5 minutes to soften.

Step 3

In a separate bowl, mash the ripe bananas until smooth. Add the honey, eggs, vegetable oil, and vanilla extract. Whisk until well combined.

Step 4

Add the banana mixture to the soaked bran cereal and stir until evenly incorporated.

Step 5

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

Step 6

Gradually add the dry ingredients to the wet ingredients, folding gently until just combined. Do not overmix to avoid dense muffins.

Step 7

If using, fold in chopped walnuts or raisins for added texture and flavor.

Step 8

Divide the muffin batter evenly among the prepared jumbo muffin cups, filling each to about two-thirds full.

Step 9

Bake in the preheated oven for 20-22 minutes, or until a toothpick inserted into the center of a muffin comes out clean.

Step 10

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

Step 11

Serve warm or at room temperature. Store leftovers in an airtight container for up to 3 days, or freeze for up to 1 month.
