Moist Jumbo Banana Wheat/Oat Bran Muffins

"Moist and flavorful these can be made with oat or wheat bran depending on what you have. You can put your choice of nuts (my fav is walnuts) or dried fruit and vary the amount of mashed banana and they still come out great. Since I started using this recipe 5 years ago, I have kept these muffins on hand in our freezer. I save my brown bananas, freeze them and when I get a good amount puree them in my cuisinart so I can triple the batch of muffins. You can also make these as regular size muffins. The batch would make 12 muffins and bake time would decrease to 15 minutes or so."

  1. Very nice. Definitely a keeper. Thanks
     
  2. A lovely moist muffin, perfect for breakfast! I sprinkled seeds on the top for a crunchy topping. Will definitely pass this one on to my friends!
     
  3. These were very good......just took them out of the oven, spread butter on half of one, and enjoyed! Just like eating the banana bran bread that I make. <br/>I did add some ground pecans and some mini chocolate chips because I made them for my grandson. I'm always looking for healthy recipes for him.......he likes muffins but doesn't know what's in them......which is why I get away with the ground nuts...Ha! I also sprinkled a tiny bit of sugar on the tops which gave them a sweet crusty top.<br/>Thanks for giving me a new recipe......glad I tried it. Donna
