How to Make Banana Cranberry Bread

  1. Preheat oven to 350°F (175°C). Grease and flour two 9x5 inch loaf pans.
  2. Coarsely chop 1 cup of fresh cranberries and set aside.
  3. Mash 3 ripe bananas with a fork and set aside.
  4. In a large mixing bowl, beat together 2 large eggs, ¾ cup granulated sugar, and ½ cup vegetable oil until well combined.
  5. In a separate bowl, whisk together 2 cups all-purpose flour, 2 teaspoons baking powder, 1 teaspoon baking soda, 1 teaspoon ground cinnamon, ½ teaspoon salt, and 1 teaspoon vanilla extract.
  6. Gradually add the dry ingredients to the wet ingredients, mixing until just combined. Be careful not to overmix.
  7. Gently fold in the chopped cranberries and mashed bananas.
  8. Pour the batter evenly into the prepared loaf pans.
  9. Bake for 45-55 minutes, or until a wooden skewer inserted into the center comes out clean.
  10. Let the loaves cool in the pans for 10 minutes before transferring them to a wire rack to cool completely.
