Honey and Banana Bran Muffins

Preheat oven to 400 degrees F. Lightly spray bottoms of muffin cups with cooking spray.

In a medium bowl, combine the bran cereal and milk. Let stand for 2 minutes for the cereal to absorb some of the milk.

Add the egg, oil, cinnamon, banana, vanilla, and honey and mix well.

In another bowl, combine the flour, salt, and baking soda. Mix well then stir in the nuts.

Gently stir cereal mixture into the flour mixture only mixing enough to combine (you do not want to overmix muffins).

Fill the muffin cups 2/3rds full. Place the muffin pan in the oven and bake at 400 degrees F for 15-20 minutes or until set.

Remove the pan from the oven and let the honey banana bran muffins cool in the pan for 5 minutes then remove to a wire rack.
