Instructions

Preheat the oven to 400°F (200°C). Grease a 12-cup muffin tin or line with muffin liners to prevent sticking.

In a large mixing bowl, whisk together the all-purpose flour, oat bran, brown sugar, baking powder, salt, and cinnamon until well combined.
3
In a separate medium bowl, mix the milk, vegetable oil, beaten egg, and vanilla extract until thoroughly blended.
4
Pour the wet ingredients into the dry ingredients, stirring gently until just combined—be careful not to overmix as this can lead to dense muffins.
5
Fold in the chopped ripe bananas, ensuring they are evenly distributed throughout the batter.
6
Using a ladle or spoon, evenly divide the batter among the prepared muffin cups, filling each about 2/3 full.
7
Bake in the preheated oven for approximately 20 minutes, or until a toothpick inserted into the center of a muffin comes out clean.

Once baked, transfer the muffins to a wire rack to cool for about 5 minutes before removing them from the tin. Enjoy them warm or store in an airtight container for later!
