Egg Free Banana Bran Muffins

Prep time: 20 Mins

Cook time: 21 Mins

Yields: 21 Muffins

Banana muffins loaded with bran flakes cereal, chocolate chips and walnuts is a delicious way to start the day or perfect as a lunch treat or after school snack.

Part 1:

1/2 cup butter, softened
1 cup white sugar
3/4 cup buttermilk
1 and 1/2 cups mashed bananas

Part 2:

1 and 1/2 cups all-purpose flour
1 and 3/4 teaspoon baking soda
1/4 teaspoon salt
4 cups bran flakes cereal
3/4 cup semi-sweet chocolate chips
3/4 cup chopped walnuts

Instructions

Preheat the oven to 350F/180C for 15 minutes. Line muffin tins with paper liners.
In a large bowl cream together the butter and sugar, until light and creamy. Add the buttermilk and bananas and beat it again.
Sift in the flour, baking soda and salt. Stir well.
Add in the cereal, chocolate chips and chopped nuts too. Mix it thoroughly. If you think that the batter is too thick add another tablespoon or two of milk or water to get the right consistency.
Fill the muffin tins 2/3rds full and bake for about 21-25 minutes or a toothpick inserted in the middle comes out clean. Mine was done after 21 minutes.
Move the pan to a wire rack and let it cool for at least 5 minutes before removing the muffins from the pan.

My Notes:

These muffins are quite dense. Do store it in the refrigerator because it uses bananas and the chances of the muffins going bad pretty soon is quite a possibility. But storing it in the fridge does harden it up. In that case warm it up for about 15 seconds in the microwave oven before serving, so that it has a good texture.
