BANANA BRAN MUFFINS

1 cup all-purpose flour
1 cup whole wheat flour
2 envelopes FLEISCHMANN’S RapidRise Yeast
1 teaspoon salt
1/2 cup water
3/4 cup honey
1/2 cup butter or margarine
1 cup unprocessed bran
1 1/4 cups mashed banana
1/2 cup chopped walnuts

In a large bowl, combine flours, undissolved yeast, and salt.

Heat water, honey and butter until very warm (120 to 130F).

Stir in bran; let stand about 2 minutes.

Gradually stir into flour mixture. Beat 2 minutes at medium speed of electric mixer, scraping bowl occasionally.

Stir in banana and walnuts. Spoon about 1/4 cup of batter into 12 (2 1/2-inch) greased muffin cups. Cover; let rise in warm, draft-free place for about 45 minutes.

Bake at 350F for 30 minutes or until done. Remove from cups; serve warm.
