Ingredients
Blueberry Banana Muffins
- Ingredients
- 1 small lemon
- 7 ozs Pastry flour
- 5 Tbsps Wheat bran
- 2 tsps Baking powder
- 4 ozs cane sugar
- 1 pinch salt
- ¾ cup
- 1 egg
- 2 Tbsps Canola oil
- 2 ripe, small Banana
- 6 ozs Blueberries
Rinse the lemon in hot water, dry and zest. In a bowl combine zest with flour, bran, baking powder, sugar and a pinch of salt. Mix well.
In another bowl, whisk together milk, egg and oil until smooth. Add to flour mixture and mix until smooth.
Peel banana and mash well with a fork. Add to batter and stir thoroughly.
Sort through blueberries, removing any stems; fold gently into batter.
Line a 12-cup muffin tin with paper baking cups. Divide the batter evenly among the cups.
In a preheated oven at 400 °F, bake muffins until a wooden skewer inserted into the center of a muffin comes out clean, about 30 minutes. If it comes out clean, remove muffins from the oven. If not, bake for a few more minutes.
Remove muffins from pan. Allow to cool on a wire rack for 5 minutes; serve warm or room temperature.

Healthy, because
Wheat bran adds tons of fiber to these muffins, which jumpstarts a sluggish digestion. Bananas also score health points with tons of potassium.
Even smarter
If you don't have fresh berries, frozen ones will do. Just fold them into the dough while still frozen.
