Introduction

In too much of a rush for breakfast in the morning? Me too - this takes about 20mins preparation time and sets you up for a couple of weeks of breakfast in one go.

Ingredients

    * 2 large ripe bananas (or 3 med. Size – approx 300ml of mashed banana)
    * 1/2 cup vegetable oil (reduce to about 1/3cup if desired)
    * 2/3 cup brown sugar (you can probably get away with 1/2cup if using frozen bananas/berries or flavoured yoghurt)
    * 1 1/4 cups plain yogurt (approx 300mls or two small punnets – vanilla works really well)
    * 1 tbspn spoon baking powder (I had baking soda so used about a dessert spoon)
    * 2 eggs
    * 1 cup self raising flour
    * 2 cups bran, (I used a blend of LSA, puffed quinoa, barley flakes and oat bran – feel free to improvise with whatever unsweetened bran/cereal you have in the cupboard)
    * 1/2 cup light raisins or 1/2 cup craisins (or frozen berries- blueberry is yum)
    * 1/4 cup sunflower seeds (I used Chia seeds)

Tips

The results freeze really well and defrost in about 35secs on high in the microwave


Directions

• 1. Add the baking soda to the yogurt in a larger cup or bowl. Set this aside.
• 2. Beat eggs, oil, mashed bananas and sugar.
• 3. Combine the flour, bran, raisons and sunflower seeds. Add the yogurt/soda mixture to the egg, bananas, then add the flour. Mix until just combined. Put into paper-lined large muffin tins and bake at 210deg for 18 to 20 minutes. (mine needed more like 20-25mins but my oven is slow, check with a skewer or for bounciness) .
