Preparation

What You Need

1 1/2 cups (375 ml) bran cereal (i.e. All-Bran or 100 % Bran)
1 1/2 cups (375 ml) milk
2 cups (500 ml) all-purpose flour
2 tsp (10 ml) baking powder
1/4 tsp (1 ml) salt
3/4 cup (180 ml) peanut butter (smooth or crunchy)
1/4 cup (60 ml) butter
1/2 cup (125 ml) packed brown sugar
1 cup (250 ml) mashed ripe banana
1 egg
12 thin banana slices

Instructions

Preheat oven to 400 °F (200 °C). Lightly butter 12 nonstick muffin pans or line with paper baking cups.

In a large bowl, combine cereal with milk; let stand for 5 min. In separate bowl, combine flour, baking powder and salt.

In a microwave-safe bowl or saucepan, combine peanut butter and butter. Heat in microwave on Medium (50 %) power for 30 to 60 seconds or on stove-top over medium-low heat for 1 to 2 min, stirring often or until melted and smooth. Whisk into cereal mixture with brown sugar, banana and egg. Pour over dry ingredients and stir just until moistened.

Spoon into prepared muffin pan and place a banana slice on top of each muffin. Bake for 20 to 25 min or until tops are firm to the touch. Let cool in pan for 10 min. Transfer to rack to cool completely.


Tips

Cooking Tip:
For best flavour and texture use bananas that are golden yellow with deep-brown freckles. Ripe bananas (unpeeled) can be frozen in a resealable plastic bag and thawed in the microwave or at room temperature to use for baking.

For the Adventurous:
Sprinkle 1/2 cup (125 mL) chopped plain or honey-roasted peanuts over batter before stirring.

    adding some chocolate chips to the mix or even some cream cheese icing to top it off might be nice
