Healthy (ish) Banana Muffins

I use the term "healthy", but as we all know there is no such thing as a healthy cake due to fat and sugar used. These are wholemeal muffins - which is sort of healthy!

60g Bran flakes
300 ml milk
125g Wholemeal flour
1tbsp baking powder
60g butter
60g caster sugar
2 mashed banana
handful of raisins
12 muffin cases
muffin tray

pre-heat oven to 180C/ gas4

Soak the bran flakes in the milk for 10-15 mins. While they are soaking cream the butter and sugar together, then beat in the eggs. In a separate bowl sift the flour and baking powder. Stir alternate spoonfuls of the flour and bran flakes into the butter mix. Gently fold in the mashed bananas and the raisin.

Line a muffin tray with muffin cases. Pour in the mixture and bake for 30 mins.

I usually omit the raisins if Paul is going to be eating them (he hates dried fruit). If I want to scoff more of the muffins then I leave the raisins in!
