Perfect way to use up those bananas in your kitchen!<\/li>\n<li><strong>eggs<\/strong> \u2013 gives these muffins their structure and height.<\/li>\n<li><strong>coconut oil<\/strong>\u00a0\u2013 I used a little bit of melted coconut oil to help keep these muffins moist. If you don\u2019t have coconut oil, feel free to use Greek yogurt or unsweetened applesauce.<\/li>\n<li><strong>oat flour<\/strong> \u2013 this helps make the muffins light and fluffy and pairs perfectly with the oat bran. If you don\u2019t have <a href=\"https:\/\/urlgeni.us\/amzn\/MAljt\">oat flour<\/a>, you can easily make your own (see notes below). You could also use whole wheat flour or all-purpose flour.<\/li>\n<li><strong>oat bran <\/strong>\u2013 <a href=\"https:\/\/urlgeni.us\/amzn\/zkdYj\">oat bran<\/a> adds lots of fiber and protein to these muffins along with a nice oaty taste and texture. You could also use wheat bran for whole grain muffins.<\/li>\n<li><strong>baking soda<\/strong> \u2013 this acts as a leavening agent to help these muffins rise.<\/li>\n<li><strong>milk<\/strong> \u2013 you\u2019ll need 1\/4 cup of milk and any type of milk will work in this banana muffin recipe.<\/li>\n<li><strong>sweetener <\/strong>\u2013 I used a combination of maple syrup and <a href=\"https:\/\/urlgeni.us\/amzn\/cWLRt\">cane sugar<\/a> to naturally sweeten the muffins without using refined sugar. You could also use honey, white sugar or brown sugar.<\/li>\n<li><strong>vanilla <\/strong>\u2013 you\u2019ll need one teaspoon vanilla extract to give these muffins a boost of flavor!<\/li>\n<li><strong>cinnamon + salt <\/strong>\u2013 boosts of flavor.  You could also add a little nutmeg or allspice for even more warm flavors.<\/li>\n<\/ul>\n<h2 class=\"wp-block-heading\">How to Make Healthy Bran Muffins<\/h2>\n<ol class=\"wp-block-list\">\n<li><strong>Preheat oven.<\/strong>\u00a0Preheat oven to 325 degrees F and spray a <a href=\"https:\/\/urlgeni.us\/amzn\/uBU8g\">muffin pan<\/a> with nonstick spray or use cupcake liners.<\/li>\n<li><strong>Mash bananas.\u00a0<\/strong>Using a fork or <a href=\"https:\/\/urlgeni.us\/amzn\/IZsUK\">potato masher<\/a>, mash the bananas in a medium bowl until you get the desired consistency.<\/li>\n<li><strong>Mix ingredients.<\/strong>\u00a0In a large mixing bowl, mix together the <a href=\"https:\/\/urlgeni.us\/amzn\/MAljt\">oat flour<\/a>, <a href=\"https:\/\/urlgeni.us\/amzn\/zkdYj\">oat bran<\/a>, <a href=\"https:\/\/urlgeni.us\/amzn\/cWLRt\">cane sugar<\/a>, baking soda, cinnamon and salt, then set aside flour mixture.\u00a0In a separate bowl, whisk together the eggs, maple syrup, mashed bananas, milk, melted coconut oil, and vanilla, mixing until all combined.<\/li>\n<li><strong>Make the batter.<\/strong>\u00a0Add the wet ingredients to the dry ingredients and stir with a spatula until just combined. Be careful not to over-mix the batter.\u00a0This is when you can fold in any mix-ins you\u2019d like such as chocolate chips or chopped nuts into the wet mixture.\u00a0<\/li>\n<li><strong>Prepare muffin tins.<\/strong> Generously coat a <a href=\"https:\/\/urlgeni.us\/amzn\/uBU8g\">muffin pan<\/a> with non-stick cooking spray (or use paper liners) and divide the batter evenly between 12 muffin cups. Make sure to fill each cup almost all the way full.\u00a0<\/li>\n<li><strong>Bake the muffins.<\/strong>\u00a0Bake muffins in the oven for 20-25 minutes, or until a toothpick inserted comes out clean.\u00a0 Let the muffins cool in the pan for about 5 minutes before transferring them to a wire rack.<\/li>\n<\/ol>\n<figure class=\"wp-block-image size-large\"><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" width=\"1200\" height=\"1611\" src=\"data:image\/gif;base64,R0lGODlhAQABAAAAACH5BAEKAAEALAAAAAABAAEAAAICTAEAOw==\" alt=\"These Healthy Banana Bran Muffins are moist, fluffy, and made healthier with wholesome oat bran cereal, bananas and zero butter or added sugar.\u00a0 Delicious quick on-the-go morning breakfast!\" class=\"wp-image-28687 lazyload\" data-src=\"http:\/\/bankofmckenney.org\/wp-content\/uploads\/2025\/02\/banana-bran-muffins-2-1200x1611-1.jpg\"><\/figure>\n<h2 class=\"wp-block-heading\">How to Make Oat Flour<\/h2>\n<p>To make your own oat flour, take rolled oats (or instant oats) and blend them in your\u00a0<a href=\"https:\/\/urlgeni.us\/amzn\/90Saz\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noreferrer noopener\">food processor<\/a>\u00a0or\u00a0<a href=\"https:\/\/urlgeni.us\/amzn\/hBWeY\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noreferrer noopener\">blender<\/a>\u00a0for about 60 seconds. They will resemble a fine, powdery flour which is what we want!\u00a0You can also buy your own <a href=\"https:\/\/urlgeni.us\/amzn\/MAljt\">oat flour<\/a> at the grocery store, but this method saves money and the flour will last up to three months in your pantry.\u00a0The ratio for oat flour is one cup of oats = one cup of oat flour, so it\u2019s pretty easy to measure out.<\/p>\n<h2 class=\"wp-block-heading\">Variations and Substitutions<\/h2>\n<ul class=\"wp-block-list\">\n<li>Make sure to use over-ripe bananas with brown spots for the sweetest flavor!<\/li>\n<li>Don\u2019t over mix the batter.\u00a0This results in a super dense, dry muffin which we don\u2019t want.\u00a0 We are going for fluffy and soft!<\/li>\n<li>Feel free to sub the oat flour with whole wheat flour or all-purpose flour.\u00a0I don\u2019t recommend using almond flour or coconut flour in this recipe. Everyone has different preferences.<\/li>\n<li>You can easily swap out the melted coconut oil for olive oil, unsweetened applesauce or plain Greek yogurt in this healthy bran muffin recipe. You could also add in extra mashed banana.<\/li>\n<li>Mix in other fun additions like chopped walnuts or pecans, raisins, chocolate chips, cacao nibs, coconut flakes, chia seeds, dried fruit or fresh berries on top of each muffin.<\/li>\n<li>For chocolate banana bran muffins, simply add in 1\/3 cup of unsweetened cocoa powder and only use 1 cup of oat flour.<\/li>\n<\/ul>\n<figure class=\"wp-block-image size-large\"><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" width=\"1200\" height=\"1737\" src=\"data:image\/gif;base64,R0lGODlhAQABAAAAACH5BAEKAAEALAAAAAABAAEAAAICTAEAOw==\" alt=\"These Healthy Banana Bran Muffins are moist, fluffy, and made healthier with wholesome oat bran cereal, bananas and zero butter or added sugar.\u00a0 Delicious quick on-the-go morning breakfast!\" class=\"wp-image-28693 lazyload\" data-src=\"http:\/\/bankofmckenney.org\/wp-content\/uploads\/2025\/02\/banana-bran-muffins-5-1200x1737-1.jpg\"><\/figure>\n<h2 class=\"wp-block-heading\">Prepping and Storage<\/h2>\n<p><strong>To Store:<\/strong>\u00a0You can keep these banana muffins stored in a sealed, airtight container or wrapped in aluminum foil on the counter at room temp for up to <strong>3 to 4 days<\/strong>, but make sure to refrigerate after that to keep them longer.\u00a0 These muffins will last up to a week in the fridge in a sealed container.<\/p>\n<p><strong>To Freeze:<\/strong>\u00a0These healthy muffins freeze really well too!\u00a0 You can either wrap the muffins individually in plastic wrap or store them all together in a freezer bag.\u00a0 When ready to eat, just pop them in the microwave for 30 to 40 seconds or simply thaw out at room temperature for a nutritious breakfast.\u00a0 These will keep in the freezer for up to 3 months!<\/p>\n<div class=\"block-pinterest-cta\">\n<div class=\"block-pinterest-cta__icon\"><\/div>\n<p class=\"block-pinterest-cta__title\">Pin this now to find it later<\/p>\n<p><a href=\"https:\/\/pinterest.com\/pin\/create\/button\/?url=&amp;media=&amp;description=\" title=\"Share on Pinterest\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"nofollow noopener noreferrer\" class=\"wp-element-button\" data-postid=\"41\" data-pin-do=\"none\" data-social-network=\"Pinterest\" data-social-action=\"Pin\">Pin It<\/a><\/div>\n<div class=\"block-instagram-cta\">\n<div class=\"block-instagram-cta__icon\"><\/div>\n<div class=\"block-instagram-cta__content\">\n<p class=\"block-instagram-cta__title\">Follow on Instagram<\/p>\n<\/div>\n<p><a class=\"wp-element-button\" href=\"https:\/\/www.instagram.com\/eaturselfskinny\/\">Follow<\/a><\/div>\n<h2 class=\"wp-block-heading\">More Muffin Recipes<\/h2>\n<ul class=\"wp-block-list\">\n<li><a href=\"https:\/\/www.eatyourselfskinny.com\/banana-breakfast-muffins\/\">Healthy Banana Breakfast Muffins<\/a><\/li>\n<li><a href=\"https:\/\/www.eatyourselfskinny.com\/healthy-apple-cinnamon-muffins\/\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noreferrer noopener\">Healthy Apple Cinnamon Muffins<\/a><\/li>\n<li><a href=\"https:\/\/www.eatyourselfskinny.com\/whole-wheat-pumpkin-muffins\/\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noreferrer noopener\">Healthy Pumpkin Muffins<\/a><\/li>\n<li><a href=\"https:\/\/www.eatyourselfskinny.com\/chocolate-chip-banana-zucchini-muffins\/\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noreferrer noopener\">Chocolate Chip Banana Zucchini Muffins<\/a><\/li>\n<li><a href=\"https:\/\/www.eatyourselfskinny.com\/lemon-blueberry-blender-muffins\/\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noreferrer noopener\">Lemon Blueberry Blender Muffins<\/a><\/li>\n<\/ul>\n<h2 class=\"wp-block-heading\">More Banana Recipes<\/h2>\n<ul class=\"wp-block-list\">\n<li><a href=\"https:\/\/www.eatyourselfskinny.com\/whole-wheat-banana-waffles\/\">Whole Wheat Banana Waffles<\/a><\/li>\n<li><a href=\"https:\/\/www.eatyourselfskinny.com\/banana-oat-breakfast-smoothie\/\">Banana Oat Breakfast Smoothie<\/a><\/li>\n<li><a href=\"https:\/\/www.eatyourselfskinny.com\/banana-oatmeal-breakfast-cookies\/\">Banana Oatmeal Breakfast Cookies<\/a><\/li>\n<li><a href=\"https:\/\/www.eatyourselfskinny.com\/baked-banana-bread-donuts\/\">Baked Banana Bread Donuts<\/a><\/li>\n<li><a href=\"https:\/\/www.eatyourselfskinny.com\/blueberry-banana-almond-flour-pancakes\/\">Blueberry Banana Pancakes<\/a><\/li>\n<\/ul>\n<p><em>Hope you all enjoy this nutritious fiber-rich muffin recipe!
