Cranberry Banana muffins

These are fantastic! I didn't except these to turn out so well. The mixture of banana and cranberry is perfect and the overall sweetness was not overpowering.

I made these on a whim because we had one over ripe banana; not enough to make banana bread, pudding or anything else.

The recipe called for bran, but I used quick-cooking oats instead. I also used dried cranberries I had on hand, not fresh. I also used almond milk, as I'm currently trying out a dairy-free diet. (I've already failed on day two, as you can read here.)

This is from Jen Botts, listed in "Recipes and Remembrances," a Neighbors Grove Wesleyan Church Women of Faith cookbook. My mom gave me this for Christmas last year.
