Banana Nut Buttermilk All Bran Muffins

• 1/2 cup brown sugar, packed
• 1/2 cup white sugar
• 1 cup hot buttermilk (heat in microwave until hot)
• 1 cup all-bran cereal
• 1 large egg
• 1/2 cup vegetable oil
• 3/4 cup pureed banana (1 cup is okay also)
• 2 teaspoons vanilla
• 1 1/2 cups flour
• 1/2 teaspoon salt
• 1/2 teaspoon baking soda
• 2 1/2 teaspoons baking powder
• 1/2 - 1 teaspoon cinnamon (optional)
• 1 cup raisins (optional)
• 1/2 chopped walnuts (optional)

1. Set oven to 375 degrees F.
2. Set the oven rack to second lowest position.
3. Spray 12 muffin cups with non-stick cooking spray, and line with paper liners.
4. Set the muffin trays on a baking sheet (the baking sheet is optional).
5. In a medium bowl stir the HOT buttermilk together with the All Bran cereal, and let stand for about 6 minutes.
6. Meanwhile puree the banana.
7. After the 6 minutes, transfer the bran mixture to a large bowl, and add in the pureed banana; mix to combine.
8. Mix the two sugars together, then add to the bran/banana mixture with the egg, vanilla and oil; blend well to combine.
9. Mix together the flour, salt, baking soda, baking powder and cinnamon; add to the banana mixture; mix gently to make a soft batter.
10. Fold in nuts and raisins (if using).
11. With an ice cream scoop, divide the batter evenly between the muffin cups.
12. Bake about 22-28 minutes or until muffins test done.
13. *NOTE* Although it is not necessary, I like to place the muffin tins on a baking sheet to bake in the oven.
