Ingredients

2 large Eggs
2/3 C packed light Brown sugar
1 C mashed ripe Bananas, (2 medium)
1 C Buttermilk
1 C Wheat bran
1/4 C Canola oil
1 tsp Vanilla extract
1 3/4 C Flour
1 1/2 tsp Baking powder
1/2 tsp Baking soda
1/2 tsp ground Cinnamon
1/4 tsp Salt
1/2 C Chocolate chips, (optional)
1/3 C chopped Walnuts, (optional)

Instructions

Preheat oven to 400°F. Coat 12 muffin cups with cooking spray. Whisk eggs and brown sugar in a medium bowl until smooth. Whisk in bananas, buttermilk, wheat bran, oil and vanilla. Whisk flour, baking powder, baking soda, cinnamon and salt in a large bowl. Make a well in the dry ingredients; add the wet ingredients and stir with a rubber spatula until just combined. Stir in chocolate chips, if using. Scoop the batter into the prepared muffin cups (they’ll be quite full). Sprinkle with walnuts, if using. Bake the muffins until the tops are golden brown and spring back when touched lightly, 15 to 25 minutes. Let cool in the pan for 5 minutes. Loosen edges and turn out onto a rack to cool slightly before serving.
