Cocoa Banana Bran Muffins Recipe

Cocoa Banana Bran Muffins Recipe

  • 1 1/4 cups All-Bran Original cereal
  • 3/4 cup 1% milk
  • 1 cup all-purpose flour
  • 1/2 cup lightly packed brown sugar
  • 1/4 cup cocoa powder
  • 1 tablespoon baking powder
  • 1/4 teaspoon baking soda
  • 1/4 teaspoon salt
  • 1 egg
  • 1/4 cup canola oil
  • 3 large very ripe bananas (reserve 12 thin slices, mash remainder)
  • 1/3 cup semi-sweet chocolate chips
  1. Preheat oven to 400 degrees F (200 degrees C). Lightly coat 12 (2/6.5 cm) non-stick muffin pan cups with cooking spray.
  2. In medium bowl, combine cereal and milk. Let stand for about 2 minutes or until cereal softens.
  3. In large bowl, combine flour, sugar, cocoa powder, baking powder, baking soda and salt. Set aside.
  4. Add egg, oil and mashed bananas to cereal mixture; beat well. Add liquid mixture to dry ingredients, stirring only until just combined. Fold in chocolate chips. Portion batter evenly into prepared muffin cups. Top each cup with a reserved banana slice.
  5. Bake in preheated oven for 20 minutes or until tops spring back when lightly touched.
