altered from Quaker Oat Bran Hot Cereal box
2 cups Quaker Oat Bran Hot Cereal, uncooked
1/4 cup firmly packed brown sugar (44 grams)
2 tsp baking powder
1/2 tsp salt, optional
1 cup non-fat skimmed milk
2 egg whites, slightly beaten (or 1 whole egg)
1/4 cup honey or molasses
2 tbsp vegetable oil
1 medium banana, mashed
Heat oven to 425'. Line 12 medium muffin cups with paper baking cups or spray bottoms only with no-stick spray. Combine dry ingredients; mix well. Add combined milk, egg whites, honey and oil; mix just until dry ingredients are moistened. Add bananas, mix until combined.
Fill prepared muffin cups and bake 15 to 17 minutes or until toothpick comes out clean.
The recipe calls for 1/2 tsp salt but I have never used salt. Also it calls for 1 cup of raisins, 1/2 cup fresh or frozen blueberries or 1 medium mashed, ripe banana. Calories are based on honey, banana and olive oil vs vegetable oil. **I now use Raw Agave in place of honey. This has the same calories but a lower glycemic index and tends to be a bit sweeter.
This is my favorite "healthy" muffin and very moist. 1 box of Quaker Oat Bran Hot Cereal will make 2 recipes with a tiny bit leftover so I will usually measure out the dry ingredients for 2 recipes putting one in a Ziploc bag for another batch at a later date.
Substituted milk with almond milk, 1 egg and 1 egg white, used maple syrup in place of honey/agave (was not as sweet), 2 medium bananas. Bake 17 minutes minimum otherwise 17 minutes is too long.
