Ingredients

Great-start-to-the-day banana bran and yoghurt muffins
  • 1 cup self-raising flour
  • 2 teaspoon ground cinnamon
  • 1 1/2 cup bran flakes or wheat bran
  • 1/2 cup sultanas or raisins
  • 1/2 cup golden syrup
  • 1/4 cup oil (eg canola)
  • 3 large very ripe bananas, mashed
  • 1 teaspoon vanilla essence or extract
  • 2 free-range eggs
  • 3/4 cup natural yoghurt or coconut yoghurt
  • 1 teaspoon baking soda
Decoration
  • 1 teaspoon chia seeds
  • 1 tablespoon pumpkin seeds
  • 1 tablespoon cacao nibs, optional

Method

  • 1
    Preheat oven to 200°C. Line a 12-hole medium or large muffin pan with paper cases.
  • 2
    Sift flour and cinnamon into a medium mixing bowl. Stir in a pinch of salt, bran flakes and dried fruit.
  • 3
    In a large mixing bowl, whisk together golden syrup, oil, banana, vanilla, eggs, yoghurt and baking soda until smooth.
  • 4
    Fold the flour mixture into the wet mixture with a large metal spoon until combined, being careful not to over-mix.
  • 5
    Spoon into cases and sprinkle with both the seeds and cacao nibs (if using).
  • 6
    Bake for 20-25 minutes or until risen and the tops are lightly golden and spring back when gently pressed. Take out of oven and leave to stand for at least 5 minutes before removing from tin.

Notes

  • Muffins freeze well, so tuck some away to enjoy another day
