Ingredients

• 1 cup Rolled oats
• 1 cup All-purpose flour
• 1 teaspoon Baking powder
• 0.5 teaspoon Baking soda
• 0.25 teaspoon Salt
• 1 teaspoon Ground cinnamon
• 2 medium Mashed ripe bananas
• 1 Egg
• 0.5 cup Milk
• 0.25 cup Honey
• 1 teaspoon Vanilla extract
• 0.75 cup Dried cranberries
• 0.25 cup Vegetable oil

Directions

Step 1

Preheat your oven to 375°F (190°C). Line a 12-cup muffin tin with paper liners or lightly grease the cups.

Step 2

In a large mixing bowl, combine the rolled oats, all-purpose flour, baking powder, baking soda, salt, and ground cinnamon. Stir well to combine.

Step 3

In a medium bowl, mash the ripe bananas with a fork until smooth. Add the egg, milk, honey, vanilla extract, and vegetable oil. Whisk until the mixture is well-combined.

Step 4

Pour the wet ingredients into the bowl with the dry ingredients. Stir gently until just combined, being careful not to overmix.

Step 5

Fold in the dried cranberries, evenly distributing them throughout the batter.

Step 6

Spoon the batter into the prepared muffin tins, filling each cup about 3/4 full.

Step 7

Bake in the preheated oven for 18–20 minutes, or until a toothpick inserted into the center of a muffin comes out clean.

Step 8

Remove the muffins from the oven and let them sit in the muffin tin for 5 minutes. Then transfer them to a wire rack to cool completely.

Step 9

Serve warm or store in an airtight container at room temperature for up to 3 days. These muffins can also be frozen for longer storage.
