I have tried so many muffin recipes and have never really found one I have liked up until now. I have specifically been looking for a moist, fairly loose bake but with a high volume of health and flavour.
We are keeping an eye on what we eat and these have proved to be a great option for breakfast. They are awesome served with some fresh assorted berries and a drizzle of honey. If your waste-line is not a problem ... a thick slice of Camembert cheese works well before you drizzle the honey.
IF YOU CAN ... try and use unprocessed wheat bran, which is the outer layer of the wheat kernel removed during milling. It is also known as "miller's bran" and can be found in the baking section of your local store. Try not to substitute bran cereal in this recipe if you can! Bottom line, it is so much better for you and your digestive system.
RECIPE:
2 eggs
2/3 cup light brown sugar
2 medium bananas, mashed
1 cup low fat Greek yoghurt
1 cup unprocessed wheat bran
1/4 cup canola oil
1 tsp vanilla extract
1 cup whole-wheat flour
2/4 cup all purpose flour
1 1/2 tsp baking powder
1/2 tsp baking soda
1/2 tsp ground cinnamon
1 tsp ground ginger
1/4 tsp salt
1/3 cup walnuts, rough chop
Preheat over to 200'C (400'F)
Whisk eggs and sugar in a medium bowl
Add bananas, yoghurt, wheat bran, oil, vanilla and mix
In a large separate bowl mix whole-wheat flour, all purpose flour, baking powder, baking soda, cinnamon, ginger and salt
Make a well in dry ingredients and add wet ingredients, stirring with a rubber spatula to combine
Stir in walnuts
Scoop batter into a prepared muffin cups - make them full
Sprinkle with more walnuts if you like (optional)
Bake for 17 min
Check they are cooked by inserting a sharp knife - they are done when knife comes out clean
Allow to cool for 5 min before removing them from muffin pan
