• Ready In: 35mins
• Ingredients: 16
• Yields: 12 Muffins

ingredients

• 1⁄4 1/4 cup butter or 1/4 cup olive oil
• 1⁄2 cup Xylitol sweetener or 1/2 cup other 1-1 artificial sweetener
• 1⁄4 cup molasses
• 2 large eggs
• 1 ripe banana, mashed
• 1 cup whole milk
• 1 cup wheat bran
• 1⁄8 cup ground flax seeds
• 1⁄2 cup rolled oats
• 2⁄3 cup all-purpose flour
• 1⁄3 cup vanilla-flavoured whey powder
• 2 teaspoons baking powder
• 1 teaspoon baking soda
• 1⁄4 teaspoon salt
• 1⁄4 teaspoon xanthan gum (optional)
• 1 cup raisins

directions

1. Cream shortening, sugar or Xylitol, molasses.
2. Add eggs, beat until well blended.
3. Add milk and ripe banana. Mix until well blended.
4. In separate bowl, whisk all dry ingredients except raisins until blended. Add raisins to dry ingredients, mixing to coat raisins and separating any that are stuck together.
5. Add dry ingredients to wet ingredients and mix gently just until all dry ingredients are moistened. (Over-mixing will make them tough.).
6. Distribute evenly into 12 large greased muffin cups. If lining with paper, use X-lge and spray with Pam as the protein powder makes them stick.
7. bake at 325 degrees for 25-30 minutes. Cool on rack.
