Oat Bran Blueberry Mini Muffins

Ingredients

• 1 1/2 cups oat bran
• 1 cup whole wheat flour
• 2 tablespoons ground flax seeds
• 1 1/4 teaspoons baking soda
• 1 teaspoon ground cinnamon
• 1/8 teaspoon salt
• 3/4 cup skim milk
• 1/3 cup honey
• 1 medium banana, mashed
• 1 large egg
• 2 tablespoons olive oil
• 1 teaspoon vanilla extract
• 1 cup fresh blueberries

Directions

1. 1

   Position a rack in the center of the oven and preheat oven to 400 degrees Fahrenheit. Lightly coat 24 nonstick miniature muffin cups with cooking oil spray.

2. 2

   In a medium bowl, combine bran, flour, flaxseed, baking soda, cinnamon, and salt. Set aside. In another medium bowl or in a blender, combine the milk, honey, banana, egg, olive oil, and vanilla extract until smooth.

3. 3

   Make a well in the center of the dry ingredients, and pour in one-third of the liquid mixture. Using a spoon, stir until smooth. Add remaining liquid mixture and stir just until combined. Add blueberries and stir again, but do not over mix.

4. 4

   Spoon 2 tablespoons of batter into each prepared muffin cup. Bake about 8 minutes, or until the tops spring back when pressed gently in the centers. Do not overbake. Cool in the pan on a wire rack for 10 minutes before removing from the cups. Serve warm or cool completely on the rack.
