Directions
Preheat oven to 375°F. Line 12 muffin cups with paper liners or spray with cooking spray. In a medium bowl, stir together flour, bran, baking soda, salt, and pecans. Set aside. In another bowl, beat together the banana and oil. Add brown sugar and egg white and beat until completely mixed. Stir in dry ingredients just until blended.
