Banana and wheat germ muffins are a great variation of the standard banana muffins. Adding wheat germ give these muffins a nicer taste, and although wheatgerm contains an appreciable amount of vitamin E, you will be reducing the amount of viable vitamin E through the baking process. The fibre content won’t be affected however, but do give this recipe a try and I’m sure that you will like these muffins. Use an unbleached white flour and very ripe bananas. Enjoy.
