Our moist banana walnut muffins make a satisfying breakfast treat. We bumped up the flavor and nutritional value of our banana walnut muffin recipe by adding wheat bran and olive oil. Bake these tasty muffins in mini muffin pans for an on-the-go treat or to pack in lunch boxes or backpacks.
Whisk together thoroughly:
1 1/2 cups all-purpose flour
1/2 cup wheat bran
2 teaspoons baking powder
1 teaspoon cinnamon
1/4 teaspoon ground nutmeg
1/2 teaspoon baking soda
1/4 teaspoon Seas salt
Stir in 2/3 cup chopped walnuts
Whisk together in a mixing bowl:
1 large egg
3/4 cup packed brown sugar
3 medium bananas - mashed
6 tablespoons organic extra virgin light olive oil
2 teaspoons vanilla
Preheat oven to 375 degrees. Lightly grease muffin pan or line muffin pan with paper baking cups.
Add the wet mixture to the flour mixture and mix together with a few light strokes by folding in until the the dry ingredients are just moistened. Do not overmix; the batter will be light but lumpy.
Carefully spoon the batter into the muffin pan filling each muffin 2/3 full. Bake 15-18 minutes or until a toothpick inserted into the center of several muffins comes out clean. Your baking time will vary depending upon your oven. Let cool 2-3 minutes before removing from pan. Serve at once.
