Potentially Healthy Muffins

They’ve been sold as healthy to me, although with all that butter and sugar I think it’s a rather flexible use of the word.

115g butter
110g brown sugar
3 mashed bananas
115ml milk
1 tsp vanilla extract
2 eggs
175g wholemeal flour
100g wheat bran
1 tsp baking powder
1 tsp baking soda
1/4 tsp salt
handful of chopped pecans

Preheat oven to 190. Mix sugar and butter until ‘creamy’. Add mashed bananas, milk, vanilla, eggs and milk. Combine the flour, bran, baking powder, baking soda and salt, and add that to the mixture. Pour generously into muffin cases (this should make about 14 decent sized muffins) and put in the oven for 20-25 minutes.

I have eaten some and frozen some. They look like this.
