Quick Oat Bran and Banana Muffins

Description: A delicious way to add healthy oat bran to your diet. I like the chopped bananas in these, rather than the usual mashed, as I like running across the small bits of banana. This is a recipe from Bon Appetit that I have changed somewhat to suit my taste.

Ingredients:

• 1 1/4 cups all-purpose flour
• 1 cup oat bran
• 1/2 cup brown sugar
• 1 tablespoon baking powder
• 1/2 teaspoon salt
• 1/2 teaspoon cinnamon
• 3/4 cup milk
• 1/4 cup vegetable oil
• 1 large egg
• 1 teaspoon vanilla
• 2 large ripe bananas, peeled and chopped

Steps:

1. Preheat oven to 400F; grease 12 (1/3 cup) muffin cups or use muffin liners.
2. Combine first 6 ingredients in a large bowl.
3. Put milk, oil, egg and vanilla in medium bowl and whisk to blend.
4. Add milk mixture to dry ingredients, stirring just until combined; mix in banana, being careful not to overmix.
5. Divide batter evenly among muffin cups.
6. Bake about 20 minutes, or until toothpick inserted into centers of muffins comes out clean.
7. Transfer to rack to cool.
