Ingredients
- 2 Medium Ripe Bananas
- 2 Eggs
- ¼ Cup Molasses
- ¼ Cup Honey
- ¼ Cup Unsweetened Applesauce
- 1/3 Cup Skim Milk
- 2 Tbsp Three Farmers Original Camelina Oil
- 1 tsp Vanilla
- 2 Cups Wheat Bran
- 2 Cups Whole Wheat Flour
- 1 Cup Quick Cook Oats
- 1 tsp Cinnamon
- 1 ½ tsp Baking Powder
- ½ tsp Baking Soda
- ½ Cup Dark Chocolate Chips
- Three Farmers Crunchy Little Lentils, Lightly Salted flavor (Optional add in if you would like to add a crunch factor and increase the protein and fibre content)
Directions
- Preheat the oven to 350 degrees and prepare 2 standard muffin pans.
- In a large bowl, mash the two bananas.
- Add in the eggs, apple sauce, milk, Three Farmers Original Camelina Oil, honey and molasses and mix until everything is combined.
- In a medium bowl, add the flour, wheat bran, oats, baking powder, baking soda and cinnamon. Stir the dry ingredients until combined.
- Pour the dry ingredients into the large bowl of wet ingredients. Stir the mixture until the dry ingredients are combined but be careful not to overmix the batter.
- Add the dark chocolate chips and the Three Farmers Crunchy Little Lentils if desired. Mix gently.
- Evenly distribute the muffin batter into 24 muffin tins. I find an ice cream scoop or a liquid measuring cup with a spout is helpful to ensure even distribution without a huge mess.
- Bake at 350 degrees for 19 minutes.
