Banana-Bran Muffins

By the end of the week, any bananas left in the fruit bowl are past their prime—just right for these moist bran muffins. Add a handful of dark chocolate chips to entice children to enjoy a fiber-rich treat.

READER'S COMMENT:

"I changed this recipe up a bit, in order to use up some canned pumpkin in my fridge. I doubled the recipe using three eggs, 2 cups of pumpkin, 1/3 cup oil, 1/2 cup mini chocolate chips, 1/2 chopped dates and about 1/4 cup crushed flax...

Great way to make a healthy version of banana bread with less oil. While the bran is noticeable, it is more a reminder that these muffins are healthy. However, they taste so sweet they don't need any additions (like butter or honey). I am going to add this to my collection of healthy breakfast recipes for sure!

I made these by substituting Stonyfield Farms Organic low-fat strawberry yogurt for the buttermilk, as I didn't have any and couldn't bother with the sour milk substitution. I also added about 1/2 c oatmeal and used wheat germ instead of unprocessed bran (didn't realize I had it tucked away in the back of the fridge until the muffins were in the oven)! They came out quite tasty. Since I don't have muffin pans, my batch generated two dozen cupcake size muffins. I would make these again as is or with my substitutions. Another great recipe from Eating Well!

Definitely follow the directions carefully! I live overseas and couldn't get the miller's bran so I substituted bran cereal although the recipe specifically said not to...of course they were right because although the flavor is still great, my muffins weigh about a pound each! LOL! Still a great recipe though! :)
