What You Need 

Banana Bran Muffin Ingredients  

• 1½ cups wheat bran 
• ⅔ cup whole wheat white flour or whole wheat pastry flour 
• ⅓ cup ground flaxseed 
• ½ cup brown sugar 
• 1 tsp baking soda 
• 2 tsp cinnamon 
• ½ tsp nutmeg 
• ¼ tsp salt 
• 1½ cups mashed bananas (3 large)

How to Make the Banana Bran Muffin Recipe

1. Preheat oven to 425 degrees F and spray or line a 12-cup muffin tin; set aside.
2. In a medium bowl, whisk together the wheat bran, flour, flaxseed, brown sugar, baking soda, cinnamon, nutmeg, and salt; set aside. 
3. In a large bowl, mash up the bananas. Add the eggs, almond milk, coconut oil, and vanilla; whisk well to combine. 
4. Add the dry ingredients to the banana mixture and stir just until combined; if using fold in the mini chocolate chips. 
5. Scoop batter into muffin wells and reduce the oven temperature to 400 degrees F; bake for 18-20 minutes or until an inserted toothpick is cleanly removed. Let sit in the pan for 5 minutes before removing to a wire rack to finish cooling.
