Banana-Apple-Cranberry Muffins

As I mentioned earlier in my Banana Cheesecake Post, I has some very ripe bananas which I had to use up immediately. I checked our cupboard for some leftover nuts and dried fruit and found exactly what I needed! Cranberries, walnuts, oats, 1 apple and of course, the bananas. This mini-bread-muffin is absolutely delicious and also quite healthy, given that the banana already brings alot of natural sweetness with it, which means you don't have to add alot of sugar to this recipe! Eat them for breakfast or as a healthy snack throughout the day...~

• 3 ripe bananas
• 1 apple
• 1 cup dried cranberries

Preparation

Preheat the oven to 180°C. Peel all three bananas and mash them in a bowl with a fork. Now peel and dice the apple into 1cm cubes and add that to the bowl with the mashed up bananas. Add the egg, cranberries, cinnamon, and salt, and mix well with a fork. Add the flour, oats, chopped walnuts and sugar, and stir it all up until it's all moist. Now use the oil to grease two mini muffin pans. Spoon batter and fill up each hole all the way. Bake them in the oven for about 20 minutes.
