Tips

Delicious and moist with a tangy hint of Cranberry.
I suggest spraying the cupcake liners with Baker�s Joy for easier removal.


Directions

Preheat over to 425 degrees. Spray 2 muffin pans with cooking spray or use cupcake liners.
In a large bowl, combine sifted flour with all of the other dry ingredients (except chopped walnuts and cranberries) and whisk together, set aside.
In a medium bowl, mash bananas to a slightly chunky consistency, then add all of the other wet ingredients and stir just until combined.
Add Wet Ingredients to Dry Ingredients and fold together gently until no flour pockets remain.
Fill muffin liners to the top (using an ice cream scoop, spoon, or a ladle).
Top each muffin with a sprinkle of oats or 1 whole walnut.
Bake at 425 degrees for 5 minutes, then lower the temperature to 350 degrees (leaving muffin pans in the oven) and bake for another 16-17 minutes or until a toothpick inserted in the center comes out clean (total baking time is about 22 minutes).
Cool muffins for 5 minutes in the pans, then remove from pans and continue cooling on a wire rack.
Muffins stay fresh covered for 2-3 days, then transferred to the fridge for up to 1 week.
