Apple Banana Muffins

I’ve had a slight problem with picking up a few too many bananas at Aldi lately, so my freezer is packed with browned bananas that didn’t get eaten quickly enough!

I finally decided it was time to do something with all those bananas, and came up with this heathier muffin treat that we loved.  They’re good for you, and a great way to use up some fruit in your kitchen if you have it.

TIP: You can also easily double the batch for these apple banana bran muffins . . which is what I did because muffins go fast around here!

Here’s how to make these Apple Banana Bran Muffins:

Gather up all of your ingredients and mix together your raisin bran, eggs, and milk in a large bowl.  Allow this to sit for 5 minutes.

Grab a separate bowl and mix together your flours, baking soda, cinnamon, melted butter, apples (shredded), honey and your ripened bananas.

Add the banana mixture to your raisin bran mixture.  This is creating the batter for your apple banana muffins.  Stir everything together until well combined.

Spoon the mix into muffin cups, and bake in a preheated 350 degree oven for 18 – 20 minutes.

    Hi Laurie,
    These muffins look delicious! I have everything but whole wheat flour. Can I use just white flour and maybe more raisin bran perhaps? Already spent my grocery $ this week and don’t want to spend over budget but don’t want to waste my bananas either. Love your site!

    • Laurie says

      Hey Lori! Yes – I don’t even think you need to add more raisin bran – when I run out of whole wheat flour that’s what I do too! 🙂

  2. darbe says

    i have a stupid question, I’m not familiar with baking with whole wheat flour-so couldn’t you just use a whole cup of whole wheat flour instead of half white and half whole wheat?

    • Laurie says

      Hi Darbe! You could use all whole wheat, but they would be a little heavier/denser muffins, so I usually use half whole wheat and half white wheat when I bake. (They’d definitely be even better for you though, if you try it let me know how they are!)
