Banana Walnut Cranberry Bread Recipes

What do you do when the bananas are so over-ripe that they're practically inedible? In our house, there are basically two choices, freeze them for smoothies or make banana bread. I’ve been making banana bread for years and I always tweaked it up a bit by adding sour cream and different types of nuts or dried fruits to it. For this loaf I added walnuts and dried cranberries that I received from the nice people of Oh! Nuts . This is a really moist banana loaf and the big and plump cranberries gave it a sweet tart taste to the bread, definitely not too sweet. This banana bread taste even better the next day.

Ingredients:

¾ cup of butter
3/4 cup of light brown sugar
3 eggs
½ cup of sour cream
2 cups of flour
1 tsp of baking powder
½ tsp of baking soda
1 tsp of vanilla
½ tsp of salt
1 cup of mashed bananas
¾ cup of chopped walnuts
¾ cup of dry cranberries

1. Pre-heat the oven to 325 degree F. Prepare and greased a loaf pan. Sift flour, baking soda, baking powder and salt in a bowl and set it aside
2. Place butter and sugar in a mixer and cream until light and fluffy. Gradually add in one egg at a time and beat until incorporated. Add in the sour cream. Mix well.
3. Add in bananas and vanilla. Slowly add in the flour and mix well.
4. Fold in the nuts and cranberries and transfer the batter to the baking pan. Bake for 45 minutes or until a toothpick inserted into the center of the bread comes out clean.
5. Turn the bread out of the pan and let it cool completely before serving.
