Best Choice

2 cups enriched bran flakes cereal

1 cup milk

½ cup mashed ripe bananas (about 1 banana)

¼ cup vegetable oil

Exciting Cooking Moment!


Add mashed banana, oil, and egg to the cereal mixture; mix well.

In large bowl, stir together sugar [?], flour, baking powder, salt, and cinnamon.

Make a well in the center of the bowl with dry ingredients; add banana/cereal liquid mixture, stirring until just moistened.

Spoon batter into greased muffin pans, filling 2/3 full.

These don't rise a lot, so this is about how tall they're going to get.


Bake at 400F for 25-30 minutes until golden brown.

See?


My Rating: 3/5 "These were refreshing for not being packed with sugar. (Although I gather there may originally have been sugar in the ingredient list.) Our toddler loved them, which was nice since they're decently healthy. I just wished they had risen more, and I wished they had some spiced to add some pizzazz even without sugar."
