Even though the holidays have passed, winter isn’t over. We’ll all be dealing with the cold for a while longer, so let’s do some baking to keep warm! This recipe is for some awesome cranberry-banana bread.
Ingredients
- 1/2 cup butter
- 3/4 cup sugar
- 2 eggs (beaten)
- 1 3/4 cups flour
- 1 cup bananas (mashed)
- 1/2 cup dried cranberries
- 1/4 teaspoon salt
- 1/2 teaspoon baking soda
- 2 teaspoons vanilla
Step 1
In a bowl, cream the butter and sugar.
Step 2
Mix in the eggs, vanilla and bananas.
Step 3
In a separate bowl, combine the flour, salt and baking soda.
Step 4
Stir the dry ingredients into the wet ingredients and continue stirring until they are just mixed (don’t overmix the batter as that can toughen the bread).
Step 5
Add the cranberries and stir until everything is just mixed (again, don’t mix too vigorously).
Step 6
Pour the mixture into a greased loaf pan and bake at 350 degrees for 40 to 50 minutes.
Thanks to Sandy Reese from Denver, Colorado for the recipe!

Thankfully there are plenty of ways to make gift-giving greener, and here are four tips just for you. Continue Reading post – Green Living: Eco-Friendly Gift Wrapping

store. That is unless you host a Cookie Exchange!
