1 1/4 cups flour (your choice) we use (1/2 unbleached/1/2 whole wheat
1 1/4 cups rolled oats (slow type)
1/2 cup sugar
1 1/2 tsp baking powder
1 tsp baking soda
1/2 tsp salt
2 eggs
2 cups mashed banana
1/3 cup vegetable oil (canola)
1 cup cranberries (the big american cranberries may have to be chopped up)
a judgement call needed here.
Combine dry ingredients
Beat egg, banana and oil until smooth
Add to dry, blend and add cranberries
Fill greased muffin cups almost full
Bake 375f for 20 to 25 min until set and golden
makes about 12 muffins
* can ripen bananas in oven, peel and bake 450f for 10 min or until very soft
Frozen cranberries will release their sugar while baking so experiment
until you get the taste you prefer. Don't defrost before using. We get ours
from a local health food store.
PS if you use whole cranberries, they can be make up cranberry juice and
then strained cranberries used in the recipe. Reduce to 1/3 cup.
Marty, I am curious on how I could modify this recipe - suggestions welcome.
Just a note
The bog cranberries grow wild in Manitoba and throughout Canada and in the
northeastern states, I believe. The berries stay on the plant over winter
and were a mainstay of First Nations people. They maintain colour and shape
when frozen and dry well too. Flavour improves after one frost.
The large or American bog cranberry is the common one sold in stores. BC is
the largest producer in Canada and Wisconsin in the states so my cookbook
tells me.
Cranberries can be used with other fruit, dried apricots, peaches,
nectarines, oranges, apples, as well as banana.
James is the muffin and granola maker in our family, if anyone wants more
