There’s nothing like banana bread. With its soft, fluffy, banana flavoured batter and it’s lightly sweetened crust, it’s hard to decide if it’s breakfast food, snack fare, or dessert. Naturally sweetened with maple syrup and ripened bananas, Cranberry Banana Bread is the perfect balance of fluffy bread and fruit flavoured sweetness.

Lately, I’ve been loving dried cranberries. With all the extra snacking I’ve been doing during this pregnancy, cranberries are quickly becoming one of my favourite treats. Whether they’re enjoyed with vanilla Greek yogurt, a fruity addition to a salad, or on their own, cranberries are always a tasty treat. With a combination of sweet and tart, these fruits add so much flavour to any meal, especially to Cranberry Banana Bread.

Cranberry Banana Bread is truly healthy. Made without butter, margarine, or oil, Cranberry Banana Bread is instead packed with fruit. The batter is made with three very ripe mashed bananas, apple sauce, maple syrup, milk, and dried cranberries. The extra fruit gives this banana bread a rich and moist texture that tastes like a dreamy combination of bread and cake.
