How to Make Banana Cranberry Muffins Pampered Chef

  1. Preheat oven to 400°F (200°C). Line a 12-cup muffin tin with paper liners.
  2. In a medium bowl, whisk together 1 ½ cups all-purpose flour, 2 teaspoons baking powder, 1 teaspoon ground cinnamon, and ½ teaspoon salt.
  3. In a large bowl, mash 3 ripe bananas with a fork. Add ⅓ cup milk (any kind), (specify sugar amount and type if known, otherwise remove), ⅓ cup melted unsalted butter, 1 large egg, and 1 cup fresh or frozen cranberries. Mix well.
  4. Gently fold the dry ingredients into the wet ingredients until just combined. Do not overmix.
  5. Fill each muffin liner about ¾ full.
  6. Bake for 20-25 minutes, or until a toothpick inserted into the center comes out clean. Muffins should be lightly golden brown.
  7. Let the muffins cool in the tin for a few minutes before transferring them to a wire rack to cool completely.

Chef's Tip for Extra Flavor

Elevate your dish with simple flavor boosters! A final flourish of freshly chopped herbs can add incredible brightness, while a squeeze of lemon or lime juice right before serving can awaken all the flavors. Don't underestimate a sprinkle of quality finishing salt or a drizzle of good olive oil to make your creation shine.
