Banana-Sweetened Bran Muffins Ingredients Directions Preheat oven to 375 degrees F. Lightly grease a 12-cup muffin tin with 1/2 teaspoon cooking oil. In a medium bowl, whisk together dry ingredients, including oat bran, baking powder and cinnamon; set aside. In a large bowl, mix the wet ingredients, including mashed banana, applesauce, Greek yogurt, eggs and vanilla together until well combined and smooth. Add wet ingredients to dry ingredients, and mix until just combined. Divide batter evenly into 12 muffin cups (about ¼ cup mix per muffin cup), and bake 20 minutes or until toothpick inserted into center comes out clean. Transfer to a wire rack to cool for 10 minutes, then remove muffins from tin and place on wire rack to cool completely. Muffins are best served warm with your favorite spread. Feel free to add in chocolate chips, berries or nuts to the batter!
