    This banana, cranberry, oatmeal breakfast muffin sounds pretty healthy, doesn't it?  I was looking for a great breakfast muffin, with ingredients I had on hand.  Mainly bananas, cranberries and oatmeal.

    {sigh}  Yes, it is my Costco shopping issue again!  Who can actually use all those craisins in that huge package!!  Wow.  And, I need to stop buying bananas every time I go there!

    As much as I searched, I found some breakfast muffins that were close but not quite what I was looking for.   Sooooo, I made up my own.  I've made them twice and really enjoy them!  And, the bonus was, everything I used is normally in my pantry.

    I love this for a quick on-the-go breakfast.  I wrapped some individually and froze them.   They are just as good when thawed (just leave them on the counter overnight).

    Ingredients

    • 2 mashed ripe bananas
    • 1 large egg
    • 1 teaspoon vanilla
    • ⅓ cup canola oil
    • ⅓ cup milk I use 1 %
    • ½ cup sugar
    • ½ cup whole wheat flour
    • ½ cup white flour
    • 1 ¾ cup old fashioned oats
    • 1 teaspoon baking powder
    • 1 teaspoon baking soda
    • 1 teaspoon cinnamon optional - but I think it adds to the flavor!
    • 1 cup Craisins dried cranberries

    Instructions

    • Preheat to 350F. Makes 12 nice sized muffins.
    • Line your muffin tins.
    • In bowl, mash bananas, add lightly beaten egg, canola oil, vanilla and milk.
    • Add sugar and stir together.
    • Add whole wheat flour, white flour, baking powder, baking soda and cinnamon. Stir the dry ingredients together (on top of the wet ingredients) so that baking powder, baking soda and cinnamon are fairly well mixed into the flour. Add oats and mix all ingredients together.
    • Fold in cranberries.
    • Wooohooo! Only one bowl to wash. Does that make you happy too??
    • Divide dough evenly into 12 lined muffin tins. About ¾ full
    • Bake approx. 20 minutes. Check with toothpick to see if done.
    • Take out of muffin tins to cool.

    Enjoy these cranberry, oatmeal breakfast muffins!  They are wonderful.  They are a little more dense than most muffins I've had.  That would be because you have all those healthy ingredients in them!!

    Delicious breakfast muffin. Made with oatmeal, cranberries and bananas. Healthy but still easy to make!

      Great one bowl recipe! I didn't have whole wheat flour so used unbleached and changed up the oats to encorporate 1/3 cup of steel cut for a little crunch. Also added frozen blueberries instead of craisins. They turned out fabulous thanks!

        I'm glad to hear your breakfast muffins turned out great. I haven't made them in a while. Time to make them again!!

      I made these muffins last night & my husband & my 1 yr old son LOVED them! My husband doesn’t typically like healthy breakfast options. I even brought some in to work to share with a coworker. They are absolutely delicious. The only variation was that I used three bananas instead of two. Also, would you be able to post the nutrition info? I was adding it to my calorie app & wanted to make sure it was accurate. Thanks!!

      These look delicious. I love cranberries and we never seem to eat all the bananas before they start to get ripe and then no one wants them. Pinning this one to make soon. Thanks
