How to Make Cranberry Walnut Banana Bread
- Preheat oven to 375°F (190°C). Grease and flour a 9x5 inch loaf pan.
- In a large bowl, whisk together 2 cups all-purpose flour, 1 teaspoon baking soda, ½ teaspoon baking powder, and ½ teaspoon salt.
- In a separate bowl, mash 3 ripe bananas. Add ½ cup vegetable oil, ¼ cup unsweetened applesauce, and ¾ cup maple syrup (or other liquid sweetener). Blend until completely smooth.
- Pour the wet ingredients into the dry ingredients and mix until just combined. Do not overmix.
- Stir in 1 tablespoon flaxseed meal and 2 tablespoons water (to create a flax egg). Mix well.
- Gently fold in 1 cup dried cranberries and ½ cup chopped walnuts.
- Pour batter into the prepared loaf pan and bake for 50-60 minutes, or until a wooden skewer inserted into the center comes out clean.
- Let the bread cool in the pan for 10 minutes before transferring it to a wire rack to cool completely.
