Banana Bran Muffins

I love a good banana muffin!! This is a healthier version to the average banana muffin recipe (with the bran in there!). 

15 Second Banana Bran Muffins

I use Kellogg's All Bran cereal, however you can use any type of bran flake cereal. I've always thought All Bran to be an 'old person' kinda food, but now I am that 'old person' and the older I get, the more I'm really embracing this dietary fibre stuff! ;) And most importantly, my official taste testers - Ethan and Harley can't get enough of these muffins!!! Especially with a cup of milk!! Deeelicious!!
