For Mary, my sister-in-law, a Bran Buds advocate.
A satisfying Banana Bran Muffin.
In a bowl, combine
1 1/2 cups whole wheat pastry flour, all purpose flour, or whole wheat flour
2 tsp baking powder
1/2 tsp baking soda
1/2 tsp salt
1/2 tsp cinnamon
In another bowl, combine
1 cup Bran Buds
1 cup Soy, Almond, Rice or regular Milk
Let the bran buds soften for about 10 minutes.
Then add to the bran buds
3 over ripe, mashed bananas
1 cup of brown sugar, not packed
2 tsp vanilla extract
1/4 cup canola oil
1/2 cup chocolate chips, (optional)
Combine the two bowls, and mix gently, until dry ingredients are JUST moistened.
Fill twelve, paper-lined muffin cups.
Bake at 400 for 15-18 minutes, or until a toothpick comes clean.
