I mentioned this bread on my other blog. I've been doing some holiday bread baking, and I like to make them ahead of time and freeze them. They seem to just get better after a couple of days. OSLO and I both had a sample slice of this one, and it is as good as I remembered it.
This bread is easy to make, but it does dirty three bowls. Bowl one is the largest bowl, and it has one cup of sugar and one stick of margarine in it. (Room temperature margarine.) Beat them together well. Bowl one now becomes your main bowl.
Bowl two has two cups of flour, two teaspoons of baking powder and one teaspoon of cinnamon in it. Whisk together, or at least stir it up with a fork. Bowl three has one cup of mashed very ripe bananas, two beaten eggs, one quarter cup of milk and a half teaspoon of vanilla in it.
Pour bowl three (banana/egg) into bowl one (sugar/margarine). Mix well (with a spoon). Add bowl two (flour/baking powder/cinnamon) gradually into bowl one. Stir just until the flour is mixed in. Fold in one and a half cups of cranberries which have been cut in half. Bake in a 9X5 inch greased bread pan at 350 degrees for 50 minutes, or until it is done. Remove from oven, put the pan on a rack for 15 minutes, remove the bread from the pan, put it back on the rack, let it cool completely. [You can probably substitute about 2/3 cup of wheat flour for the same amount of white flour, and it should still turn out fine.] This has all the moist goodness of banana bread with the tart bite of cranberries. Good stuff.
