Carrot Raisin Bran Muffins
These whole wheat muffins are made with whole rolled oats and wheat bran so they are loaded with fiber. Packed with bananas and shredded carrots, you are secretly working on your daily fruit and veggie serving requirements while enjoying a delicious muffin. Unlike most bran muffins, these are naturally sweetened with raisins and honey and packed with bananas and carrots, so they are moist, nutritious and perfectly suited for a breakfast or quick snack. A side note, after lining your muffin tin with wrappers, give the wrappers a quick spray of non-stick cooking spray. This will prevent the muffins from sticking to the paper too much. You could also make these without the paper wrappers. Just spray the pan with non-stick spray (or grease with butter) and pour the batter directly into the pan.

Wheat Gluten (Seitan)
Wheat gluten, also called seitan, wheat meat, gluten meat, or simply gluten, is a food made from gluten, the main protein of wheat. It is made by washing wheat flour dough with water until all the starch granules have been removed, leaving the sticky insoluble gluten as an elastic mass which is then cooked before being eaten.
1/2 cup wheat or oat bran
Rolled Oats
Rolled oats are traditionally oat groats that have been de-husked, steamed and then rolled into flat flakes under heavy rollers before being stabilized by being lightly toasted.
1/2 rolled oats
Wheat Pastry Flour
wheat pastry flour is milled from soft white wheat, whereas regular whole wheat flour is milled from hard red wheat. It has a lower protein content than regular whole wheat flour and it makes wonderfully tender whole grain baked goods.
1 cup white whole wheat flour
Flank Steak
The flank steak is a beef steak cut from the abdominal muscles or buttocks of the cow. The cut is common in Colombia, where it is known as sobrebarriga, literally meaning "over the belly"
1/4 cup ground flaxseed
Baking Powder ( Soda)
Because baking powder is a leavener that contains both the sodium bicarbonate and the flavor-saving acid, it is usually paired with non-acid ingredients like whole milk and Dutch-processed cocoa. Baking soda need an acid. Baking powder has an acid.

1 teaspoon ground cinnamon
Nutmeg
Nutmeg is one of the two spices
1 teaspoon ground nutmeg
Salt
Common salt or table salt is a mineral composed primarily of sodium chloride, a chemical compound belonging to the larger class of salts; salt in its natural form as a crystalline mineral is known as rock salt or halite.
1/2 teaspoon salt
Bananas
The banana is an edible fruit, botanically a berry, produced by several kinds of large herbaceous flowering plants in the genus Musa. In some countries, bananas used for cooking may be called plantains.
3 very ripe bananas, mashed
Eggs
Eggs are laid by female animals of many different species, including birds, reptiles, amphibians, mammals, and fish, and have been eaten by humans for thousands of years.
