Ingredients
1 Cup Whole Wheat Flour1/4 Cup Wheat bran 1/4 Cup PREVIOUSLY COOKED Steel Cut Oats1 Tsp Baking Powder4 previously frozen or very ripe (as in brown, spotty, and stinking up the kitchen) Bananas, chopped in rounds.1/4 cup Milk (I used 1%, but any will work)1/4 cup white Sugar1/4 tsp salt1/4 tsp espresso powder4 Large Eggs1 TBS cocoa powder1 tsp Vanilla Extract, 3 fresh Strawberries, diced in 1/2'' chunks
Directions
Get all of your ingredients in place and preheat your oven to 350 F. In a medium bowl, mix together your flour, wheat bran, baking powder, cocoa powder and salt. In your mixer bowl or a larger bowl, beat together your eggs, sugar, vanilla, and espresso powder for one minute. Add your pre-cooked oats and your banana and mix until the banana is almost completely pulverized, but you still have some chunks, about another minute or two. Add the milk. Add the flour mixture to the wet ingredients and mix until just combined and all the flour is hydrated. Add the strawberry pieces, mix until evenly distributed, scrape down the sides of the bowl and let sit for 5 minutes. During this time, when the baking powder is getting its reaction on, grease or line your muffin tin. Scoop your mix into the tins, leaving about a half to a quarter inch of space on top for the muffins to rise.

Bake for 20-30 minutes or until the muffins are set on top. This makes 12 tasty little treats that taste even better the next day! Store leftovers in the refrigerator and enjoy with a nice cup of tea.
