¾ cup whole wheat flour
½ cup muesli or oats
¼ cup sugar
1 teaspoon baking powder
½ teaspoon baking soda
½ cup milk
½ cup mashed bananas
¼ cup oil
½ teaspoon vanilla essence/extract
Pinch salt
Few raisins (optional)
Step 2:
Preheat oven to 400 degrees Fahrenheit or 200 degrees Centigrade.
Line a muffin pan with cake liners or spray or coat the pans with oil.
Mash the bananas (about 3 to 4 small bananas) well, either with your hands or a potato masher, till there are no lumps and keep aside.
Step 3:
First gather the wet ingredients; milk, oil, mashed bananas and vanilla essence.
In a small bowl, mix the wet ingredients with a spoon and keep aside.

Now, keep the dry ingredients ready; flour, muesli/oats, sugar, baking powder, baking soda and salt.
In another large bowl, mix the dry ingredients; with a spoon or whisk.

Divide batter among the prepared muffin cups.
Top each with some raisins (optional) or you can sprinkle some granulated sugar on top(optional); this gives a crunchy top to the muffins!!

Bake in the preheated oven for about 20 minutes or until a toothpick inserted inside the center of the muffin comes out clean.

Remove from the oven and place on cooling racks to cool completely.
