Cranberry Banana Oat Muffin



Last year during Christmas a baking ingredients company sent a free copy of a little recipe book using their products and coupons for the same to everyone in our city . It had some really nice and simple recipes, so I saved it and after 8 months tried one today. Its called a breakfast muffin, Its health and literally has everything you eat for a breakfast in it.  I made some changes to the ingredients, like swapping white sugar for brown sugar, oil for butter, added vanilla extract and adjusted the amount of Banana added. Don't worry if you can't find cranberries, you can substitute cranberries with raisins, it will be just as yummy.

Ingredients:

  • Whole wheat flour - 1 1/4 cups
  • Oats -1 1/4 cups300 mL
  • Brown sugar - 2/3 cup
  • Baking Powder -1 1/2 tsp
  • Baking Soda- 1 tsp
  • Salt - 1/2 tsp
  • Egg - 1 
  • Vanilla extract -1 tsp
  • Banana - 2 mashed ( Original recipe calls for 2 cups of mashed banana, I'm sure it will be more than 2 bananas, I had only 2 at home, so added 1/4 cup of milk to add more moisture)
  • Oil - 1/3 cup
  • Milk -1/4 Cup (You can avoid this and add more mashed banana)
  • Dry cranberries or raisins -3/4 cup
Steps:

  • Sift the flour and combine first six dry ingredients in mixing bowl. Mix well.
  • Beat egg, mashed banana, oil and vanilla extract together until smooth.
  • Add banana mixture to dry ingredients. Stir, add the milk. Stir gently until well combined and moistened. 
  • Stir in the cranberries or raisins.
  • The batter will be thick.
  • Line a muffin pan and fill it 3/4.
  • Bake at 375ºF for 15-20 minutes based on your oven. You know your done when you insert a knife and it comes out clean
