Name: Cranberry Banana Oat Bread
Prep time: 15 min
Cook time: 30 min
Total time: 45 min
Yield: 4 servings
Ingredients: 1 1/4 cups all-purpose flour (recommend subbing 1/4 cup whole wheat flour for 1/4 cup of the white flour); 3/4 cup quick oats (I use old fashioned oats whizzed in the food processor a few times); 1 tablespoon baking powder; 1/2 teaspoon salt; 1 1/4 cups ripe mashed banana pulp (about 3 bananas); 2 large eggs; 1/3 cup margarine, melted, cooled (Earth Balance recommended or vegetable oil); 1/4 - 1/2 cup granulated sugar (some people leave out entirely, say the banana provides enough sweetness); 1/2 cup dried cranberries; 1/4 teaspoon fresh lemon juice

Servings: persons

1 1/4 cups all-purpose flour (recommend subbing 1/4 cup whole wheat flour for 1/4 cup of the white flour)
3/4 cup quick oats (I use old fashioned oats whizzed in the food processor a few times)
1 tablespoon baking powder
1/2 teaspoon salt
1 1/4 cups ripe mashed banana pulp (about 3 bananas)
2 large eggs
1/3 cup margarine, melted, cooled (Earth Balance recommended or vegetable oil)
1/4 - 1/2 cup granulated sugar (some people leave out entirely, say the banana provides enough sweetness)
1/2 cup dried cranberries
1/4 teaspoon fresh lemon juice

1
Preheat oven to 350u00b0F Lightly grease an 8 1/2-by-4 1/2-by-2 1/2-inch loaf pan with a small amount of margarine.
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
Pour the batter into the prepared loaf pan and bake until lightly browned, 45 to 50 minutes. 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.
4
Arrange on a platter and serve. Enjoy!
