Cranberry and oatmeal breakfast muffins


I have been sick for a few days with the flu so that meant no gym, no baking and no cooking.....but today that I have been feeling a bit better so I felt like making this banana and oatmeal muffins. I made these muffins a while back, when I first started the blog, although today I felt like making them slightly different so I made a few changes to the original recipe.

Since it is cranberry season I added fresh cranberries to the batter rather than the apples and dried cranberries. What a success. My husband loves them and my kids are eating them by the minute, thank goodness they are pretty healthy....... I don't think they will last more than one day :-)

You can make these muffins with which ever fruit you prefer. They are very versatile, which is one of the things I like the most, plus they also take no time to put together, MAX 10-15 minutes total.....no joke!

Anyhow I will leave you with these amazing and awesome cranberry muffins so until my next entry.

Enjoy!!





Before and after baking. These cranberry muffins were so good!! Excellent for breakfast.


 You can use any fruit you like in these muffins. They are very versatile :-)


These are a fabulous alternative for breakfast on the go, they are pretty healthy. Good on soluble fiber to low in cholesterol :-) My husband takes 3-4 each morning.
