The Everything Healthy Muffin

The Everything Healthy Muffin

This recipe started when I realized I had an annoying amount of oat bran left in my cupboard from a previous recipe. I also had 4 very ripe bananas that desperately wanted to be baked into something yummy. 

bananas + oat bran = MUFFINS! 

I always love a healthy muffin that I could eat with coffee in the morning or before/after working out. 

I bake like most people cook.....throw in some seeds or nuts, a little extra vanilla extract or cinnamon, and of COURSE a extra chocolate chips, so have your fun with this recipe! :D

ENJOY!
