Banana oat bran muffins

Have you ever used oat bran in baking before? if you haven't I highly recommend you include it into baking. Oat bran is the outer husk of oat groats where most of the fibre, iron and other minerals are found. Oat bran turns any cookie, muffin or loaf into a soft and fluffy morsel ready to devour. These banana oat bran muffins didn't last longer than an hour in my home, even though I had baked them for lunch boxes! Oat bran is an iron rich source containing 5mg of iron per 100g. It's also high in fibre and is a source of magnesium, phosphorus and potassium. I can definitely say the banana oat bran muffins are approved by the whole family.
