Bran Breakfast Muffins
We sifted some extra bran from our whole grain spelt flour and added it to make these breakfast extra fiber healthy. A protein boost from greek yogurt creates a moist crumb and with two ripe banans you can easily omit the scant amount of brown sugar. This batch made 12 regular muffins plus 24 mini muffins.
Ingredients
- 2.5 cups Extra Bran Spelt Flour (We ground our spelt berries then sifted once to capture a cup of bran then added it to unsifted flour to make our fiber rich flour. Processed all of it in the Vitamix to create a very fine "pastry" flour for baked goods.)
- 1.5 teaspoon Baking Powder
- .5 teaspoons Baking Soda
- .5 teaspoons Salt
- 2 Eggs
- 2 Bananas
- .5 cups Greek Yogurt
- .25 cups Light Tasting Olive Oil
- 1 cup Milk of choice
- 2 tablespoons Brown Sugar (May omit if bananas are super ripe)
- 2 teaspoons Vanilla
- Dash Spices (We used a dash of nutmeg and clove)
- Dark Chocolate Chips (Optional)
Instructions
- We blend our flour in the vitamix to create a lighter consistency than our countertop grain mill can produce. So it was easy work to just add the remaining ingredients to the vitamix and blend for a couple minutes to create a smooth batter.
- Pour into lined or greased muffin pans. This batch made 24 mini and 12 regular size muffins We also sprinkled half with dark chocolate chips. Bake at 375° for 20 minutes or so depending on size of your muffins
