For best results, use very ripe bananas – the spottier, the better! They provide the most intense banana flavor and moisture. Frozen cranberries work best in this recipe, as they help prevent the muffins from becoming overly soggy. Do not thaw them before adding to the batter. To add a touch of warmth, consider adding ½ teaspoon of ground cinnamon or nutmeg to the dry ingredients. These muffins can be stored in an airtight container at room temperature for up to 3 days, or frozen for up to 2 months. If freezing, wrap individually for easy thawing. For a loaf, bake in a greased and floured 9x5 inch loaf pan for 50-60 minutes or until a toothpick inserted into the center comes out clean.
