Banana Apple and Cranberry Muffins
Banana Apple and Cranberry Muffins
Its muffin time again! I went through a phase of constantly baking muffins and then not baking them for a while. They are really good for using up leftovers and the recipe is so versatile and forgiving you really cant go wrong. I created this recipe to use up leftover fruit and a bag of chocolate coated cranberries that I found in my cupboard. I also added some spice as it enhances the flavour and smells really good when baking. The muffins turned out beautifully - really soft and moist and I love the chocolate coated cranberries. Its a really tasty breakfast and perfect for lunch boxes too.

Banana walnut and chocolate coated cranberry muffins
Banana walnut and chocolate coated cranberry muffins
A quick and easy recipe today. I had a few yellowing bananas as per usual so I asked J what type of banana muffin he wanted. I told him to have a root round the pantry and he came back with a pack of walnuts and a pack of dark chocolate coated cranberries which is how this recipe came about. These muffins are really quick and easy to put together. The walnuts go really well with the bananas and the dark chocolate coated cranberries are like a little surprise when you bite into them.
Im sending this to the No Waste Food Challenge hosted by Elizabeth from Elizabeths Kitchen Diary as this recipe uses up old bananas and ingredients from my cupboard.
