Cranberry Banana Bread is a fantastic way to use up fresh Fall cranberries, fluffy and flavorful!
Equipment

Ingredients
- 1 cup sugar
- 5 tablespoon unsalted butter softened
- 1 cup mashed ultra-ripe banana

- Add banana, milk, vanilla, and eggs. Mix well.

Notes
The darker the banana peel, the sweeter the bread! For best results, use super-sweet over-ripe bananas.
