MY FAVOURITE BANANA BRAN MUFFINS { Vegan Adaptable & HEALTHY }

Constipation. Let's face it, constipation is a something we've all gone through, as embarrassing as it is to admit. Your doctor will tell you to eat loads of boring, tasteless, unappealing all-bran and fruit, but seriously, who wants to do that? I have good news my friends! The solution to constipation just got a whole lot tastier ... maybe even too tasty ...

I like to make a quick batch of these little guys whenever I have a spare half-hour here and there. They can be made in a snap and they freeze oh-so-well. Busy mornings are made so much simpler when there are muffins in the freezer just waiting for you to pop them in the microwave and devour! I mean, who doesn't love a warm, scrumptious muffin for breakfast?

Wait, did I mention that these are 100% healthy? Still not convinced that these will be your new best friend? They are also low-fat and low-calorie. I'm not lying, I promise! These are my favourite bran muffins for a reason!

I also filmed a video tutorial for these muffins. If you want to check that out, click here. And maybe you should like the video and subscribe, just saying. ;)

MY FAVOURITE BRAN MUFFINS:

Yields 12 delicious mini cakes

INGREDIENTS:

• 3/4 cup mashed banana (about 2 medium)

• 1/3 cup milk (or milk substitute)

• 1 tsp vanilla

• 1 1/2 cups wheat bran

• 1 cup whole wheat flour

• 1 1/2 tsp baking powder

• 1/2 tsp baking soda

• 1 tsp cinnamon

• 1/4 tsp salt

• 1/4 cup honey (or agave)

• 1/4 cup molasses

• 1 TBSP oil

• Handful of blueberries, chocolate chips, or any flavour you'd like

DIRECTIONS:

1. Mix together the first 4 ingredients and set aside for at least 10 minutes, allowing the wheat bran to soak.

2. Whisk together the flour, baking powder, baking soda, salt, and cinnamon, and set aside.

3. In a large bowl, mix the honey, molasses, and oil. Add the dry ingredients and the soaked wheat bran mixture and mix well. Add your choice of flavours and stir once more.

4. Divide evenly between 12 lightly greased muffin tins. Bake at 350 F for 15 - 20 minutes, or until a toothpick comes out clean.

PRO TIPS:

• They key to these muffins is to allow the wheat bran to thoroughly soak; otherwise they will turn out coarse and crumbly.

• These will last for 1 week on the counter, or up to 2 months in the freezer. I love to freeze mine so I never have to worry about them going bad!
