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 the cranberries are enjoyed with vanilla Greek yogurt, a fruity addition to a salad, or on their own, they 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.
This bread is so good – seriously good!!
Oozing with rich banana flavour and cranberries, you can’t help but fall in love with every bite of this healthy bread. With each bite, you can taste the sweetness of banana mixed with the gentle tart flavour of the cranberries. The combination of flavours, makes this bread a truly tasty treat.
