Ingredients

  • 3/4 cup oat bran
  • 1/2 cup rolled oats
  • 3/4 cup buttermilk
  • 1/3 cup unsalted butter melted and cooled
  • 1 egg
  • 2/3 cup sugar
  • 1 banana mashed
  • 1/2 tsp vanilla
  • 1 cup all- purpose flour
  • 1/2 cup whole wheat flour
  • 1 tsp baking soda
  • 1 tsp baking powder
  • 1/2 tsp salt
  • 1/4 tsp ginger
  • 1/8 tsp cinnamon
  • 1/2 cup chocolate chips

Instructions

  • Preheat the oven to 375°F and spray a muffin pan with baking spray.
  • In a medium bowl, add the oat bran, rolled oats, and buttermilk. Stir to combine and let the mixture soak for 10 minutes. Meanwhile, prepare the other ingredients.
  • In a large bowl, add the butter, egg, sugar, banana, and vanilla. If the banana is not mashed yet, use a potato masher or a fork to smush it up. Stir the mixture until well combined.
  • In a separate bowl, whisk together the flours, baking soda, baking powder, salt, and spices. Add to the wet ingredients and gently stir until just nearly combined.
  • Add the chocolate chips and gently stir until combined and evenly distributed.
  • Divide the batter equally among the 12 spaces in the muffin pan. Bake for 15- 18 minutes. Cool in the pan for 10 minutes before removing them to a cooling rack.

Notes

  • Other additions could be nuts, crystallized ginger, or even shredded coconut!
