Submitted by Dorel

"I like to put bran in my muffin recipes and had very ripe bananas and couldn't find the recipe I needed on zaar. This is from Meals.com. Very healthy."

ingredients

• 1 cup wheat bran
• 1 cup mashed banana
• 3⁄4 cup milk (I use skim)

directions

1. In a large bowl combine bran, mashed banana, and milk, stirring well.

Quite a good bran muffin recipe, but I didn't get quite as much banana flavor as hoped for -- though this rating may be invalidated by my using of oat rather than wheat bran. Everyone should try these and compare them to Honey Whole Wheat Banana Muffins, Recipe #115432, and my own Handyman Bran Muffins, #151769, before you decide on a favorite muffin, since all three recipes are good!
