In my house, I almost ALWAYS have extra bananas to use up! My kiddos go in phases where they eat all the bananas up one week, but don’t touch them the next. Personally, I love it because on the weeks where I have extras, I make bread, muffins, cakes, and more!!
Last week, I had a few laying around and decided to make some good ol’ banana bread! Since my daughter LOVES dried cranberries, I bought a huge bag from Costco. As a way to use them up, I put some into my “go to” banana bread recipe and the end result was fabulous! Not only was the bread moist, flavorful, and full of that lovely banana flavor…..but it also had cranberries scattered throughout it!!
All three of my kids and hubby enjoyed this!!
Next time you have some extra bananas to use up, whip up a batch of this bread and you’ll have a great breakfast, snack, or treat for anytime of the day!!
