Hey eileen!

You might try a recipe that uses Grapenuts...

I found this one but I'm not sure if it would be good with cranberries. Okay, honestly, I wouldn't like a banana/cranberry combination but that's just me.

Thanks I guess I could just illiminate the cranberries and it would be fine..Ill give it a try Im starting to bake alot now, of course yesterday i was in the mood to bake and I only had 4 cups of flour left ...boy was I mad! So its off to BJ Wholesale today so im set for the weekend.

Uh, Woodie, where is the banana in that recipe? I'm losing it if it's there.

(please email me...I don't check here very often...)

Jessy, the point of this thread is that Eileen wants to use her favorite cereal which is "Banana Nut Crunch", so that's where the banana comes in. There's no banana right off the tree, just what's in the cereal :-)

Not cookies but I'll bet the Bran Muffins would be good replacing the bran flakes with the Banana Nut Cereal.
