Cranberry Banana Nut Bread
Ingredients
  • 2 1/2 cups white sugar
  • 1 cup shortening
  • 3 eggs
  • 3 mashed bananas
  • 1 cup cranberry sauce
  • 1/2 cup milk
  • 1 teaspoon vanilla extract
  • 4 cups all-purpose flour
  • 1 1/2 teaspoons baking soda
  • 1 1/2 teaspoons baking powder
  • 1 teaspoon ground cinnamon
  • 1/2 teaspoon ground nutmeg
  • 1/2 cup chopped walnuts
Instructions
1
Preheat your oven to 350 degrees Fahrenheit (175 degrees Celsius).
2
To prevent the loaf pans from sticking, lightly coat them with a thin layer of oil or cooking spray.
3
Mix the sugar and shortening in a large mixing bowl until they become smooth and creamy, almost like whipped cream.
4
Introduce the eggs one by one into the sugar mixture and blend until well combined, creating a smooth consistency.
5
Mix in the bananas, cranberry sauce, milk, and vanilla extract to create a rich and fruity flavor profile.
6
In a separate bowl, whisk together the flour, baking soda, baking powder, cinnamon, and nutmeg until well combined.
7
Gradually add the dry ingredients to the banana mixture, stirring until a smooth batter forms.
8
Mix in the walnuts for added texture and flavor.
9
Pour the banana mixture into the prepared loaf pans, making sure to fill them about 2/3 full.
10
Bake the loaves in a preheated oven for 50 to 60 minutes, or until a toothpick inserted into the center comes out clean.
11
Allow the loaves to cool in the pans for 10 minutes before transferring them to a wire rack, where they will continue to cool completely.
