Soft, moist, healthy and crunchy, these banana muffins with muesli in them are perfect as a nutritious snack, full of fiber and totally egg free!!!

Step 1:

Ingredients needed:

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.

Step 4:

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.

Step 5:

Now gently, mix the wet ingredients into the dry ingredients with a spoon just until mixed; it is ok if you see some dry specks.

Do not over mix or the muffins will become hard and dry.

Step 6:

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!!

Step 7:

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

Step 8:

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

Serve these healthy muesli banana muffins warm or at room temperature.

Enjoy!!
