By Erin Huffstetler, About.com

Banana bran muffins pack a lot of nutritional punch for very little money. They're high in fiber and potassium, low in fat; and pretty, darn tasty too.

Prep Time: 10 minutes

Ingredients:

  • 1 cup bran cereal flakes
  • 1 cup all-purpose flour
  • 1 large, ripe banana, mashed (about 2/3 cup)
  • 1/2 cup honey
  • 1/4 cup milk
  • 2 Tbsp. butter or margarine
  • 2 Tbsp. yogurt (plain or vanilla)
  • 1-1/2 tsp. baking powder
  • 1/2 tsp. salt
  • 1/4 tsp. baking soda
  • 3/4 tsp. cinnamon

Preparation:

1. Preheat oven to 375 degrees.

2. Combine the bran flakes and milk in a bowl, and set aside.

3. In a second bowl, combine all of the remaining ingredients.

4. Add the bran flakes and milk to the mixture.

5. Stir one to two minutes, or until well mixed.

6. Spoon the batter into a greased muffin tin, filling each cup 2/3 full.
