Cranberry-Banana Bread and Banana-Blueberry Muffins

I always have bananas in the kitchen which means I always have some overripe blackened ones that need used almost immediately.

There’s not much of a post today, no story other than that but I did want to share a couple of recipes that I found to use up over-ripe bananas (and any cranberries you might have left in the fridge from the holidays.)   I was lucky enough to get cranberries and blueberries in a couple of recent farm bags.

Cranberry-Banana Bread

 

The only modification I made was to add 1 teaspoon of ground cinnamon.

Blueberry-Banana Muffins

This is a great recipe utilizing whole wheat flour, yogurt, and maple syrup for sweetening.

The recipe yielded a dozen regular sized muffins and one larger one (baked in a ramekin).

If you’re snowbound today, use up those gnarly bananas and bake!
