DIRECTIONS
In a small saucepan, bring cranberries, 1 cup sugar and water to a boil. Reduce heat; simmer, uncovered, for 5-7 minutes or until berries begin to pop. Drain and set aside.
In a large mixing bowl, cream shortening and remaining sugar. Add eggs, one at a time, beating well after each addition. Combine the flour, baking powder, salt and baking soda; add to creamed mixture alternately with bananas. Fold in cranberry mixture and walnuts.
Fill greased or paper-lined muffin cups three-fourths full. Bake at 400 degrees F for 15-20 minutes or until a toothpick comes out clean. Cool for 5 minutes before removing from pans to wire racks.

This is a really good recipe! I made one big mistake though: I didn't want to make these into muffins, I wanted to make it into more of a loaf. I didn't realize that it would need to bake longer (probably about 40 minutes) than 20 minutes to be done. So when I pulled it out and let it rest for a little bit the ends were done, but the center was completely mushy. If you are going to make this into a loaf, be sure to leave it in for 40-45 minutes!

This was a yummy way to use up some leftover cranberry sauce from Thanksgiving. I actually think these muffins tasted better cold. Next time I might put in some more nuts :) A definate keeper :)

Substituted equal parts butter for shortening and added chopped crystallized ginger omitting the nuts. These were so moist! Will make these again and again.

I substituted butter for shortening and craisins for the cranberries. It turned out really well! These muffins are very moist. Will definitely make again.

Great recipe! I used Crisco Golden Shortening and substituted the granulated sugar (2/3 cup) with brown sugar. I also used pecans as I didn't have any walnuts on hand. They were very moist and it's nice to bite into a whole cranberry and get that tartness which is then offset by the rest of the muffin - delish! Thanks for providing the recipe!

These muffins turned out fairly well. I love the flavors of the fresh cranberries, banana & walnuts. They were very moist... almost too moist. I will make this recipe again, since I am always looking for recipes to use my over-ripe bananas.

I liked them a lot and will make them again. My only complaint was that they are very unhealthy with all the sugar and shortening.

Really good! I just added some orange zest since I like the orange/cranberry combo.
