Healthy Whole Wheat Banana Muffins (Low Sugar And Oil Free)
- Dry
- 1 1/2 cups whole wheat flour
- 1/4 cup oat bran
- 1/4 cup tbsps granulated sugar
- 2 tablespoons granulated sugar
- 2 teaspoons baking powder
- 1/2 teaspoon salt
- Wet
- 2 large bananas, mashed (about 1 cup)
- 1 egg
- 1/4 cup low-fat milk
- 1/4 cup water
- 1 teaspoon vanilla extract
- 1 teaspoon lemon juice
- Optional Mix-ins
- 3/4 cup cranberries
- 1/2 cup walnuts, chopped
- Preheat oven to 350 deg F/180 deg Celsius.
- Prep a muffin tray with muffin liners or grease well, and set aside.
- In a medium bowl, sift in the whole wheat flour. Add in oat bran, sugar, baking powder and salt. Whisk well and set aside.
- In a large bowl, add in your bananas and mash them up if you have not already done so with your whisk or the back of a fork. Add in one egg and mix well. Add the milk, water, vanilla extract and lemon juice and beat the mixture well.
- Add the dry ingredients to the wet, first using a whisk to incorporate the batter. Switch to a spatula or a wooden spoon and mix the batter. DO NOT OVERMIX.
- At this point, you can fold in your add-ins. I added in cranberries and walnuts, but you could probably do any other combination of fruits/nuts.
- Spoon the mixture into your greased/lined muffin tins. Bake in your preheated oven until a toothpick to the center comes out clean, or the tops are golden brown (but not burnt!), approximately 20 minutes.
- Allow muffins to cool before serving.
