Ingredients Method

What goes in the bowl

• 1 large egg
• ½ cup maple syrup dark amber
• ⅓ cup coconut oil melted and still warm
• 1 cup low fat buttermilk
• 2 medium bananas mashed
• 1 teaspoon vanilla extract
• ⅔ cup whole wheat flour fluff before measuring
• 1 ½ cups wheat bran
• ½ cup oat bran
• 2 tablespoons ground flaxseed meal
• 1 teaspoon baking soda
• 1 teaspoon baking powder
• ½ teaspoon cinnamon
• 1 cup fresh or frozen blueberries

How the cooking goes

1. Warm the oven to 400°F and either grease 12 muffin cups or line with liners.
2. Stir the buttermilk, wheat bran, and oat bran with a fork and keep it to one side to soak.
3. In another medium bowl, mix together the remaining dry ingredients: whole wheat flour, flaxseed meal, baking soda, baking powder, and cinnamon.
4. Put the egg, maple syrup, banana, and vanilla to a large bowl and mix until well combined and there are no streaks of eggs.
5. Mix in the melted, and still a little warm, coconut oil, followed by the buttermilk mixture.
6. Beat in the flour mixture until the mix just comes together, then fold through the blueberries with a silicone or flexible spatula, being careful not to overmix.
7. Pour or scoop using a disher (large cookie scoop) into prepared muffin cups and bake for 20 minutes or until a cake tester comes out with moist crumbs attached.
8. Cool for 5 minutes in tins and then turn out onto the rack to cool until it is no longer warm. If you are using liners, you can lift the muffins out of the pan immediately and cool on a wire rack.

After it comes off the heat

Let the pan settle before you slice, so the crumb stays together. Cover leftovers once they are cool.
