This basic banana bread recipe is a staple in our home. I love that it comes together in a snap, and it’s made with ingredients I always have in the pantry.
Cranberry Almond Banana Bread Recipe
Today’s version just adds two new ingredients: dried cranberries and chopped almonds – which aren’t difficult to find in our house.
We love dried cranberries in morning oatmeal with a bit of brown sugar. And almonds are great to buy in bulk – just keep them cool so they last longer.
TIP: If you’re in a hurry and want to save one more dirty bowl, you can add the dry ingredients directly to the wet ingredients. Just be sure to give the powder and salt a quick stir into the flour with a fork before you fully combine with the wet ingredients.
Now, you can whip up this cranberry almond banana bread in 10 minutes and one bowl!
