CRANBERRY BANANA TEA LOAF



Cranberry Banana Tea Loaf image

This delicious and moist banana bread will make a wonderful gift at the holidays ... if you don't eat it all first. This bread is not overly sweet. We loved the cranberry/banana combination. The tart cranberries add a pop of flavor you don't always get with banana bread. Plus, your kitchen smells wonderful while this bakes.

Provided by Carol L. @Gr8Granny27

Categories     Sweet Breads

Number Of Ingredients 10

1 3/4 cup(s) all-purpose flour
3/4 teaspoon(s) baking soda
1 1/4 teaspoon(s) cream of tartar
1/2 teaspoon(s) salt
1/3 cup(s) shortening
2/3 cup(s) white sugar
2 - eggs
1 cup(s) mashed banana
1 cup(s) whole berry cranberry sauce
1/2 cup(s) nuts, chopped (I used walnuts, but, your choice)

Steps:

  • Set oven at 350 degrees. Combine the first 4 ingredients together in a bowl. Mix well. Set aside.
  • Cream shortening and sugar in a bowl. Add the two eggs and mix well. Alternately, fold in the dry ingredients, banana, and cranberries, ending with cranberries. Last, fold in the nuts.
  • Bake in a prepared loaf pan for 1 hour. Don't overbake.
  • I can hardly wait to get it out of the pan before cutting into it and then slathering it with butter! It cuts cleaner and thinner if you can wait until it is completely cool.

Tips:

  • Use ripe bananas: The riper the bananas, the sweeter and more flavorful your loaf will be.
  • Don't overmix the batter: Overmixing the batter will make the loaf tough. Mix just until the ingredients are combined.
  • Grease the loaf pan well: This will help the loaf to come out of the pan easily.
  • Bake the loaf until a toothpick inserted into the center comes out clean: This will ensure that the loaf is cooked through.
  • Let the loaf cool completely before slicing: This will help to prevent the loaf from crumbling.

Conclusion:

Cranberry banana tea loaf is a delicious and easy-to-make treat that is perfect for breakfast, lunch, or a snack. It is a great way to use up ripe bananas and cranberries, and it can be easily customized to your liking. Whether you like your loaf sweet or tart, with nuts or without, there is a cranberry banana tea loaf recipe out there for you. So next time you are looking for a tasty and satisfying treat, give cranberry banana tea loaf a try. You won't be disappointed!
