Moist and easy banana cranberry muffins. I like to wrap cooled muffins in plastic wrap and freeze them to pop into lunch boxes. This recipe can also be baked as a loaf.

Ingredients

Original recipe (1X) yields 12 servings

  • 3 ripe bananas, mashed

  • ⅔ cup white sugar

  • 1 large egg, beaten

  • 1 teaspoon vanilla extract

  • 1 ½ cups whole wheat flour

  • 1 teaspoon baking powder

  • 1 teaspoon baking soda

  • 1 pinch salt

  • 2 tablespoons vegetable oil

  • 1 cup frozen cranberries

Directions

  1. Preheat the oven to 350 degrees F (175 degrees C). Grease 12 muffin cups or line with paper liners.

  2. Mash bananas and sugar together in a bowl; add egg and vanilla and mix well. Combine flour, baking powder, baking soda, and salt together in a separate bowl. Stir into banana mixture just until batter is mixed. Stir oil into batter and fold in cranberries. Spoon batter into the prepared muffin cups.

  3. Bake in the preheated oven until a toothpick inserted in the center comes out clean, 22 to 26 minutes.

Tips

Variations: replace cranberries with fresh or frozen blueberries, 1/2 cup chopped nuts, 1/2 cup chocolate chips, 3/4 cup raisins, etc.

Brown sugar can be used in place of white sugar. All-purpose flour can be used in place of whole wheat.

This can also be baked in a loaf pan for 50 to 60 minutes.
