Ingredients

Scale
  • 3 large bananas, very ripe, mashed
  • 1/4 cup butter, melted
  • 1/2 cup peanut butter
  • 1/2 cup buttermilk
  • 2 eggs
  • 1 teaspoon vanilla
  • 1 2/3 cup Fiber One or All Bran cereal (or 4 cups bran flakes)
  • 2/3 cup Truvia (or sugar – I used 1/3 cup white sugar, 1/3 cup Truvia brown sugar blend)
  • 1 1/2 cups white whole wheat flour
  • 1 1/2 teaspoons baking soda
  • 1/2 teaspoon salt
  • 1/2 teaspoon cinnamon
  • 2/3 cup Lily’s salted caramel chocolate chips (or chocolate chips of your choice)
  • 1/2 cup chopped walnuts or peanuts, toasted

Instructions

  1. Preheat the oven to 350 F. Spray your muffin tin with cooking spray or line with silicon liners.
  2. In a large mixing bowl, mash the banana, then stir in the butter, peanut butter, buttermilk, eggs and vanilla until well mixed. Stir in the cereal and Truvia and let sit for 15 minutes to soften the cereal.
  3. Sprinkle the wet mixture with flour, baking soda, salt and cinnamon, then stir until almost mixed. Gently fold in the chocolate chips and nuts just until mixed.
  4. Spoon the batter into the prepared muffin tin, letting it heap up a bit. Bake at 350 F. for 20 – 25 minutes or until the tops are nicely browned and a wooden pick inserted in the center comes out clean. Let cool slightly, then enjoy!
