Savannah ReedIngredients
- 4 Bananas
- 1 Egg
- 2 Tbsp Melted Butter
- 1/4 cup Brown sugar
- 2 Tbsp Sugar
- 1 tsp Cinnamon
- 1/2 tsp Salt
- 1 1/4 cups Oat flour
- 1/4 cup Ground Flax Seed
- 1 tsp Baking powder
- 1 tsp Baking soda
- 1 Tbsp Vanilla
- Optional Chocolate chips
Instructions
- 1Preheat your oven to 350° and add your four bananas to a bowl and mash. Add your one egg and the melted butter, vanilla, brown sugar and regular sugar, and stir. Then slowly add in the oat flour, flax seed, baking soda and baking powder along with the salt and cinnamon. Stir until clumps are gone. Spray your muffin pan or add muffin liners to pan and use an ice cream scoop to evenly distribute the batter into each cup. I love topping mine with dark chocolate chips but nuts woukd also pair well with these muffins. Bake in preheated oven for 18 minutes or until toothpick inserted comes out clean.

Open in Pepper →Why a Real Bran Muffin Doesn't Have to Taste Like Cardboard
Bakery 'bran muffins' are usually 95% sugar, 5% bran, and a sad excuse for a snack. Made at home, with oat flour, real bran, banana or apple, and a sensible amount of sweetener, they actually deliver — 5–8g of fiber per muffin.
The texture rule is moisture. Fiber-rich flours absorb a lot of liquid, so muffin batter should look almost too wet. It bakes up tender, not dense.
The most satisfying high-fiber muffin recipes are the ones home cooks on Pepper return to again and again, ensuring a week of delightful and nutritious grab-and-go options.
Quick Tips
- 1
Soak the bran first
Stir bran or oats into the milk for five minutes before mixing. Softer crumb, no gritty bite.
- 2
Banana = binder + sweetener
A ripe banana replaces some sugar and adds 3g of fiber. Win-win.
- 3
Don't overmix
Stir until just combined. Overworked muffin batter goes from tender to chewy fast.
- 4
Test at 18, not 25
Healthier muffins dry out the second they're done. Pull at the first clean toothpick.
