How to Make Banana Cranberry Spice Muffins

  1. Preheat oven to 400°F (200°C). Line a 12-cup muffin tin with paper liners or grease the bottoms of the cups.
  2. In a resealable bag, crush 1 ½ cups of your favorite cereal (like graham crackers or crushed pretzels) until finely crumbed.
  3. In a medium bowl, whisk together 1 large egg, ½ cup milk, and ¼ cup vegetable oil until well combined.
  4. Mash 2 ripe bananas and stir them into the wet ingredients.
  5. Add the crushed cereal to the banana mixture and stir to combine. Let the mixture rest for 5 minutes.
  6. In a separate bowl, whisk together 1 ½ cups all-purpose flour, ¾ cup granulated sugar, 1 teaspoon baking soda, 1 teaspoon ground cinnamon, ½ teaspoon ground nutmeg, ¼ teaspoon ground cloves, and a pinch of salt.
  7. Add the dry ingredients to the wet ingredients and stir until just combined. Do not overmix.
  8. Gently fold in 1 cup fresh or frozen cranberries.
  9. Divide the batter evenly among the prepared muffin cups, filling each about ¾ full.
  10. Bake for 20-25 minutes, or until a toothpick inserted into the center comes out clean.
  11. Let the muffins cool in the tin for a few minutes before transferring them to a wire rack to cool completely.
  12. Enjoy warm or at room temperature!
