Ingredients

• 3 large Ripe bananas
• 1 large Egg
• 60 ml Honey
• 1 teaspoon Vanilla extract
• 120 ml Milk
• 120 grams Oat bran
• 120 grams Whole wheat flour
• 2 teaspoons Baking powder
• 0.5 teaspoon Baking soda
• 1 teaspoon Cinnamon
• 0.5 teaspoon Salt
• 60 grams Chopped walnuts or chocolate chips (optional)

Directions

Step 1

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

Step 2

In a large mixing bowl, mash the ripe bananas until smooth using a fork or potato masher.

Step 3

Add the egg, honey, vanilla extract, and milk to the bananas and whisk until well combined.

Step 4

In a separate bowl, combine the oat bran, whole wheat flour, baking powder, baking soda, cinnamon, and salt. Mix thoroughly.

Step 5

Gradually add the dry ingredients to the wet ingredients, stirring just until combined. Be careful not to overmix.

Step 6

If using, gently fold in the chopped walnuts or chocolate chips for added texture and flavor.

Step 7

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

Step 8

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

Step 9

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 10

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