Ingredients Method

What goes in the bowl

• 1 ¼ cups buttermilk
• 1 ½ cups wheat bran 1 ½ cups
• 3 egg whites
• 6 tablespoons dark brown sugar packed
• ⅓ cup canola oil
• 1 ½ tablespoon agave 1 ½ T
• 2 large bananas mashed
• ½ teaspoon vanilla extract
• ¾ cup whole wheat flour
• ½ cup oat bran
• 2 tablespoons ground flaxseed meal
• 1 teaspoon baking soda
• 1 teaspoon baking powder
• ½ teaspoon cinnamon
• 4 tablespoons whey protein I use LadyBoss Lean
• 1 cup blueberries fresh or frozen

How the cooking goes

1. Warm the oven to 400°F [not convection] and either grease 12 muffin cups or line with liners.
2. Mix the buttermilk and wheat bran, then keep it to one side to soak.
3. In a separate medium bowl, combine the whole wheat flour, oat bran, flaxseed, baking powder, baking soda, cinnamon, and protein powder, then keep it to one side.
4. In a large mixing bowl, add egg white, sugar, oil, banana, and vanilla then mix until well combined.
5. Gently stir the dry ingredients into the banana mixture. Then fold through the soaked wheat bran and buttermilk mixture and make sure not to leave any lumps of bran unmixed.
6. Turn until the mix just comes together, leaving a few lumps remaining. Then fold through the blueberries, being careful not to overmix the batter.
7. Tip the batter into the prepared muffin pan and bake for 15-22 minutes, or until a cake tester inserted into the center comes out with a few crumbs clinging to it. Cool for 5 minutes in tins, then turn out onto a rack to cool until it is no longer warm.

After it comes off the heat

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