CRANBERRY BANANA MUFFINS

Makes 12

1 egg
1 cup mashed banana
3/4 cup milk
1/2 cup brown sugar
1/3 cup vegetable oil
1 1/2 cup bran cereal
2 cups flour
1/2 cup chopped walnuts
1 tablespoon baking powder
1/2 teaspoon salt
1/2 teaspoon cinnamon
3/4 cup whole berry cranberry sauce

Preheat oven to 400 degrees.
Grease 12 large muffin cups, or line with paper baking cups. Combine egg, mashed banana, milk, brown sugar, and oil; stir in cereal; let stand to soften.
In a large bowl, mix remaining ingredients, except the whole berry cranberry sauce, stirring just until moistened.
Spoon half of the batter into muffin cups; top each with 1 tablespoon cranberry sauce.
Spoon remaining batter on top to cover cranberry sauce. Bake 20 to 25 minutes, or until golden brown.
Remove muffins from cups while hot. Cool on rack. Store in airtight containers.
