Ingredients

3 extra ripe bananas, mashed (the riper they are the better)

2 eggs

1/2 cup soft butter, 1 stick, 20 seconds in microwave.

1 cup sugar

1 teaspoon baking soda

1 cup dried cranberries (6oz pkg. Craisins) You can experiment here, I like to use ½ cup original and ½ cup Orange flavored Craisins.

2 cups flour, just plain unbleached flour.

1 cup walnut halves, again I prefer to use big pieces of walnuts as opposed to walnut pieces.

Directions

Mix ingredients in order listed. I use a KitchenAid and I keep it running on slow speed as I add the ingredients. I add the ingredients one at a time, 1 egg then the next, 1 cup flour then the next, etc. After all ingredients are added, allow the mixer to run an additional minute. Pour into a buttered 9.25 x 5.25 loaf pan. Bake 1 hour 10 minutes at 325°F. Test for doneness, as it may need an additional 5 to 15 minutes baking time. You may want to bake smaller size loafs, for instance 3 X 5.75” mini loafs. In which case reduce the cooking time to about 40 minutes. You can test for doneness by inserting a toothpick or long wooden match into cake, if it comes out dry, cakes are done.
