01 Step
Recipe View
Preheat your oven to 350°F (175°C). Prepare a 12-cup muffin tin by greasing each cup generously or lining with paper liners. (5 minutes)
02 Step
Recipe View
In a large bowl, mash the ripe bananas with the granulated sugar until well combined and relatively smooth. (3 minutes)
03 Step
Recipe View
Add the beaten egg and vanilla extract to the banana mixture. Stir until just combined. Avoid overmixing at this stage. (2 minutes)
04 Step
Recipe View
In a separate medium bowl, whisk together the whole wheat flour, baking powder, baking soda, and sea salt. This ensures even distribution of the leavening agents. (2 minutes)
05 Step
Recipe View
Gently fold the dry ingredients into the wet ingredients until *just* combined. A few streaks of flour are okay. Overmixing will result in tough muffins. (3 minutes)
06 Step
Recipe View
Stir in the vegetable oil until incorporated. Then, gently fold in the frozen cranberries until evenly distributed throughout the batter. (2 minutes)
07 Step
Recipe View
Spoon the batter into the prepared muffin cups, filling each about ¾ full. (5 minutes)
08 Step
Recipe View
Bake in the preheated oven for 22-26 minutes, or until a wooden skewer inserted into the center comes out clean or with just a few moist crumbs clinging to it. (22-26 minutes)
09 Step
Recipe View
Let the muffins cool in the muffin tin for a few minutes before transferring them to a wire rack to cool completely. (10 minutes)
For best results, use very ripe bananas – the spottier, the better! They provide the most intense banana flavor and moisture.
Frozen cranberries work best in this recipe, as they help prevent the muffins from becoming overly soggy. Do not thaw them before adding to the batter.
To add a touch of warmth, consider adding ½ teaspoon of ground cinnamon or nutmeg to the dry ingredients.
These muffins can be stored in an airtight container at room temperature for up to 3 days, or frozen for up to 2 months. If freezing, wrap individually for easy thawing.
For a loaf, bake in a greased and floured 9x5 inch loaf pan for 50-60 minutes or until a toothpick inserted into the center comes out clean.
