Banana-Bran Muffins
• 2 ¼ cup whole wheat pastry flour
• 2 large eggs, beaten well
• 1/4 c honey
• 1 1/4 cup mashed ripe bananas
• 1 cup low fat buttermilk (1 tbsp vinegar + milk & let sit 5 min)
• 1.5 cups wheat bran

• 1 teaspoon vanilla extract
• 1 tsp baking powder
• 1/2 teaspoon baking soda
• 1/2 teaspoon ground cinnamon

Preparation
1. Preheat oven to 325. Coat 12 muffin cups with cooking spray.
2. Mix eggs in a medium bowl. Add honey, bananas, buttermilk, wheat bran, oil and vanilla. Let sit 5-10 minutes to hydrate bran.
3. Mix flour, baking powder, baking soda, cinnamon and salt in a large separate bowl. Add the wet ingredients and stir with a rubber spatula until just combined. Do not over-mix. Stir in chocolate chips, walnuts, etc., if using.
4. Scoop the batter into the prepared muffin cups.
5. 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 muffins out onto a wire rack to cool slightly before serving.
