What’s good with banana cake or loaf is that it’s so versatile you can add different flavours to this wonderful base and this is one of the best variations that I had tried the Banana, Apple and Cranberry Loaf. It was made by my missus adapted from the recipe of my sister-in-law and the result was phenomenal, a moist and fruity banana loaf.
Ingredients
1 1/2 cups flour
1/2 tsp baking soda
1 tsp baking powder
1/4 tsp salt
3/4 cup sugar
2 eggs
1/2 cup vegetable oil
4 tbsp milk
1 tsp vanilla
1 cup dried cranberry
1 apple, grated
2 large bananas
1 tsp cinnamon
Method
1. In a mixing bowl, combined flour, baking powder, baking soda, salt and sugar. Mix well and set it aside.
2. In another mixing bowl, combined eggs, milk, oil, vanilla, grated apple and mashed bananas. Mix it well
3. Add in the dry ingredients into the eggs mixture. Mix until combined
4. Lastly add in dried cranberries.
5. Mix well and pour it into a greased baking pan. Place in a 180C preheated oven and bake for 50 minutes or until golden brown.
I love the banana and cranberry together. I can hardly wait to try it.
Bummer there is a rarity of dried cranberry (or fresh cranberry for that matter) here in the Philippines
Any recommended substitutes
?
Raisins, chopped prunes or dried apricots would also be good
I have bananas going brown on my kitchen counter and this could not have come at a better time!
I love cranberries in cakes but have never had it combined with banana, looking forward to the result
This sounds like an awesome combo!! Love it!
Gotta love a mix and bake cake! The flavours you picked are great!
I really love your style, and your photos are so magical!
Wonderful banana bread! Great flavor combination!
sounds and looks just yummy!
It never occured to me to add cranberries..what an excellent idea *smacks head with palm* lol
Hm sounds good! I occasionally (this is the key point) make banana bread and have tried different recipes throughout times. I’d love to try this recipe next time I bake!
Cranberry bread and banana bread are my two favorite quick breads, but I never thought about combining them. DUH! What a great idea and what a moist, delicious looking bread!
that sounds good, with the banana and apple together. a good summer or fall bread!
Well, you know how we feel about our banana loaves around here.
This looks like a real winner. I love the cranberries!
I love banana bread – it’s so delicious toasted with butter. I love the combination you have here.
I agree, I’m a big fan of eating these kinds of loaves for breakfast or snacks or anytime
Great idea to use all three fruits for a nice mix.
This looks and sounds very tasty Raymund. The picture is so inviting. Well done.
