Cranberry Banana Oat Bread
servings
Ingredients
  1. 1 1/4 cups Flour, All-purpose (recommend subbing 1/4 cup whole wheat flour for 1/4 cup white flour)
  2. 3/4 cups Quick Rolled Oats (or old fashioned oats whizzed in a food processor a few times)
  3. 1 tbsp Baking Powder
  4. 1/2 tsp Salt
  5. 1 1/4 cups Bananas mashed from ripe (about 3 bananas)
  6. 2 large Egg
  7. 1/3 cups Margarine melted, cooled (recipe calls for Earth Balance margarine or vegetable oil)
  8. 1/2 cups Sugar or less, some use 1/4 cup
  9. 1/2 cups Cranberries, Dried
  10. 1/4 tsp Lemon Juice fresh squeezed
Steps
  1. 1 Preheat oven to 350°F. Lightly grease an 9x5-inch loaf pan with a small amount of margarine.
  2. 2 Whisk together flour, oats, baking powder and salt in a large bowl. Set aside. Whisk bananas, eggs and margarine together in a separate bowl. Add sugar, cranberries, and lemon juice; mix until blended. Gently stir the banana mixture into the flour mixture until just combined. Do not over mix the batter.
  3. 3 Pour the batter into the prepared loaf pan and bake until lightly browned, 45 to 50 minutes.
  4. 4 Allow the bread to cool completely in the pan, about 1 hour. Turn the bread out onto a cutting board and, using a serrated bread knife, slice the bread into 3/4-inch thick pieces. Arrange on a platter and serve.
