This is one of the healthy muffins which are baked using oats bran. There are two types of bran, one is a oat bran and another one is wheat bran. They come from the outer husk of the oat and bran. If you find them in your supermarket, just make sure you stock them. they will be available in the cereal section of your supermarket.
You can make muffins out of them, add them to paratha dough, add them to your oatmeal or cereal as well..You can even add them to your milkshakes or smoothies..Such a healthy one..These muffins are perfect for breakfast, this with a cup of milk is just filling. This muffins has only 1 tblspn of oil and it has no flour in it. It is made only with oat bran and it has bananas in them which makes it moist. so you can enjoy many with out any guilt..
Hope you will give this a try and let me know how it turns out for you..

This is a great muffin. If I dont have oat bran can I powder the regular cooking oats and use instead? Will the resulting muffins be as delicious as this?

Delicious and healthy looking muffins. Excellent preparation.

@Anonymousi dont think you can use powdered oats, since this has no flour content in them
Aarthi
@ranjiOat bran is available in super markets. u cannot make it at home
Aarthi
@AnonymousYou can get muffin cases online. And silicon muffin mould can be used, but it result in soggy muffins. Aluminium or nonstick is best
Aarthi
@Shwetai dont think you can use powdered oats, since this has no flour content in them
Aarthi
@AnonymousYou can use any bananas you liked
Aarthi
@AnonymousNot sure about the whole cake idea..it may take longer to bake or may not bake evenly

My oven only has a max of 200 degree C ..This recipe calls for 220 degree c preheat.Pl suggest Aarthi
Aarthi
@Anonymousbake it at 200 degree C. increase cooking time if the muffins were not baked in the mentioned time

Hi Aarthi, I made this recipe. It was delicious but i made it as a cake so it was quiet flat but still completely cooked and so delicious. I used less honey and sugar but still came out perfectly sweet, must be due to the over-ripe bananas. I just had a query, do you think the oat bran is gluten free? i bought baggry's oat bran, what kind have you used?
Aarthi
@Coral cruei think that oats bran is gluten free. But some kind may have gluten

The bragry's oat bran is more like grainy small pearls. My muffins felt like crunchy pakoras because of the texture. Didyou powder the oat bran?
Aarthi
@Ekta Vermano once u add it to the wet mix it will get soft

Just took these out of the oven. My son had one and said "you can make these again" and grabbed his second one. Guess I'll need to double the recipe next time. Thanks for sharing this great recipe.

Why my mixture turned out very sticky. Is it because i replaced oil with yogurt
