Absolutely delicious!!! I take advantage of buying bags of cranberries at the end of the Thanksgiving and Christmas holidays, when they are on sale, and I freeze them to have year round. And, I always end up with over-ripe bananas on hand. These muffins were so good with the tart cranberries and the sweet banana taste -- not to mention that the oats are so nutritionally good for us. I will make these muffins again and again. The hardest part of the recipe is only allowing myself and my husband one muffin a day each. Thanks so much for the recipe!

Wonderful! I made these today as a send-off for my boyfriend's grandparents and they turned out great! Made exactly 1 dozen regular muffins, bake-time was right on the money. I used dried, sweetened cranberries instead of fresh cranberries; added 1/4 cup of leftover canned cranberry sauce, cut up into small cubes (not liquefied); and used 1-minute oatmeal. My boyfriend's mother had a great idea to substitute a packet of cinnamon-apple or maple-and-brown-sugar oatmeal mix for 1/3 cup of the sugar and 1/2 cup of the oatmeal. Sounded good, if anyone tries this, let me know!
