Equipment

  • bowl
  • Wire rack
  • Oven

Ingredients

  • 1 cup Whole wheat flour
  • ½ cup All purpose flour
  • 3 tablespoon Flax meal
  • 1 teaspoon Baking soda
  • 2 teaspoon Baking powder
  • 1 cup Brown sugar
  • 1 cup Banana mashed
  • 1 cup Milk
  • 4 tablespoon Butter softened
  • 1 teaspoon Vanilla
  • ½ cup Cranberries I used dried cranberries
  • ¼ cup Almond coarsely chopped

Instructions

  • In a large bowl, mash the bananas. I used about 2 large bananas. Overripe bananas work well for the recipe.
  • Add the softened butter and beat well.
  • Add the brown sugar, baking soda and baking powder and beat well until the mixture is creamy.
  • Now add the milk and mix well. The mixture will appear curdled, so don’t worry.
  • In another bowl, combine the flours and the flax meal.
  • Add the flour mixture to the wet ingredients and gently mix. Don’t over beat at this stage as it will make the muffins turn hard.
  • If preferred, coarsely chop the dried cranberries. Reserve some almonds to layer on top and then add them along with the cranberries to the batter and gently mix.
  • Prepare the muffin tins by lining them with liners and spraying them with oil.
  • Evenly distribute the batter into the tins. Add the reserved almonds on top of the batter.
  • Preheat the oven to 350 F and bake the muffins for 15 to 18 minutes or until the toothpick comes out clean.
  • Cool in the pan for about 5 minutes and then cool completely on a wire rack.
