A recipe for a delicious and moist banana and cranberry loaf, made with mixed nuts, cranberries and orange, a different take on the classic banana bread.
As recommended in general, it’s a good idea to mix the wet ingredients and dry ingredients seperately before mixing together and over ripe bananas go great as long as they are not too bruised in this recipe.
