Ingredients
  

  • 1 1/2/ cups whole fresh cranberries
  • 1 apple
  • 2 1/2 cups all-purpose flour
  • 1 cup granulated sugar
  • 2 teaspoons baking soda
  • 1 teaspoon baking powder
  • 1/2 teaspoon cinnamon
  • 1/4 teaspoon salt
  • 3/4 cup buttermilk or regular milk
  • 2 eggs room temperature
  • 2 tablespoons vegetable oil
  • 1 large ripe banana mashed

Instructions
 

  • Preheat oven to 350°F
  • Peel and core apple.
  • Chop apples along with cranberries. I've found the easiest way is to toss them both in the bowl of a food processor and pulse them approximately 15 - 20 times.
  • Combine dry ingredients and mix well.
  • Combine milk, eggs, and oil
  • Add milk mixture and mashed banana and mix until just combined.
  • Gently fold in the chopped cranberry and apples.
  • Grease a 9" by 5" loaf pan or three 2 1/2" by 5 1/2" loaf pans.
  • Spoon the batter into the pans
  • Bake the large pan for 55-60 minutes or the smaller pans for 35-40 minutes or until an inserted cake tester comes out clean.
  • Let your cranberry apple banana bread cool completely on a wire rack before removing it from the pans.
  • This bread will keep in the fridge for 7 days, assuming it doesn't get gobbled up beforehand!
