Preheat your oven to 375°F (190°C). Line a 12-cup muffin tin with paper liners or lightly grease the cups.
In a large mixing bowl, combine the rolled oats, all-purpose flour, baking powder, baking soda, salt, and ground cinnamon. Stir well to combine.
In a medium bowl, mash the ripe bananas with a fork until smooth. Add the egg, milk, honey, vanilla extract, and vegetable oil. Whisk until the mixture is well-combined.
Pour the wet ingredients into the bowl with the dry ingredients. Stir gently until just combined, being careful not to overmix.
Fold in the dried cranberries, evenly distributing them throughout the batter.
Spoon the batter into the prepared muffin tins, filling each cup about 3/4 full.
Bake in the preheated oven for 18–20 minutes, or until a toothpick inserted into the center of a muffin comes out clean.
Remove the muffins from the oven and let them sit in the muffin tin for 5 minutes. Then transfer them to a wire rack to cool completely.
Serve warm or store in an airtight container at room temperature for up to 3 days. These muffins can also be frozen for longer storage.
