This is a very tasty and healthy muffin. Always looking for a healthy snack. The peanut butter with the banana makes it extra special. My husband loved them and he doesn't care for banana bread or muffins. This is a keeper! -
Loved these! They are very filling and pretty good for you. I used natural peanut butter - next time I am going to try 1/2 wheat flour & splenda to make them a bit healthier. I put the soaked bran in the food processor, with the PB and banana and other wet ingredients, worked great - nice texture. I also used the suggestion of a sprinkle of mini choc chips on top instead of the topping, and it was perfect. I froze some, and they tasted the same after thawing. FYI They were much better after sitting overnight, I wasn't too thrilled at first, but the next day they were great. I used Kelloggs All Bran. -
These were great muffins & I love the amount of fibre that goes in. They rose into a good dome shape. I also followed another review's suggestion & put the milk & bran in the blender. I added 1 teaspoon of cinnamon & choc chips - I skipped the topping as well. Thanks for sharing -
Great muffins! I used Total flakes and also used 3/4 cup wheat flour for 3/4 of the all purpose. I might try to use 1/2 splenda next time as well. -
These are wonderful! I used raisin bran and took out the raisins. I put the liquid ingredients including the banana and peanut butter in the blender. I was worried about the bran flakes having a texture that my kids would not eat. They turned out very light like a cake. I made some in the microwave and some in the oven. They both turned out great. These are good with mini chocolate chips on top, warmed with a glass of milk. I didn't use the topping, they don't really need it. My 5 year old says its great! Thanks!
