"Just a thought I had. I should try it out. Cranberries and down are actually optional, but it doesn't hurt to know the calories."

This is the recipe I have been looking for! I buy a slice of a fruit bread at my favorite coffee shop....and now have adapted this recipe to be very similar. I substitued medium-coars chopped oranges (peel and all) for the banana, did not have flax seed so substited sunflower kernels, and made 18 muffins - yum!
