These cranberry banana muffins are really easy to make and are delicious for breakfast or a mid-day snack. You can also substitute chocolate chips in place of (or in addition to) the cranberries. Packed full of fruit, these muffins are a hit with both kids and adults. My friend’s kids love these and call then the “Auntie Cheryl Muffins”.

I made these today and substituted the vegetable oil with coconut oil (melted) . Yummy! Also, used craisins in place of the cranberriesI I plumped them in hot water, (then drained them of course) before adding them to the recipe.
Cheryl says
Glad you enjoyed them, Amy! They are a favorite around here.
