How To Make banana all-bran muffins
-
Step 1Preheat oven to 400^. Spray twelve 2 1/2-inch muffin-pan cups or lined with foil bake cups.Or use 18 regular size muffin cups.
-
Step 2In a medium bowl stir together flour,sugar, baking powder, baking soda, and salt. Set aside. Combine the all-bran and shaken buttermilk and let stand at least 5 minutes.
-
Step 3In a large bowl add egg and oil. Beat well with a whisk. Whisk in zest, molasses, vanilla, and orange flavoring,if using. Mixture will look curdled. That's OK.
-
Step 4Fold in bran mixture with a wooden spoon and combine.Slowly add the flour mixture to the batter just until combined. Don't over mix it! Fold in remaining ingredients, stirring until just combined. Portion batter evenly into muffing cups using an ice cream scoop or large spoon, fill muffin cups full and bake about 20-28 minutes, until a wooden toothpick comes out clean inserted in the center.
