Cranberry Banana Oat Bread

Open the oven door and the aroma of this fresh-baked breakfast bread will have the entire house clamoring into the kitchen. Moist and dense in texture, the bread includes wholesome ingredients, such as oats and fresh banana, and is easy to prepare and very adaptable, accommodating your choice of chopped nuts or dried fruit in place of the cranberries. For a delicious alternative grain version, try our Cranberry Banana Quinoa Bread. Both are perfect to make ahead for a simple holiday morning breakfast or brunch.

Serves 9

11/4 cups all-purpose flour
3/4 cup quick oats
1 TB baking powder
1/2 tsp salt
11/4 cups ripe mashed banana pulp (about 3 bananas)
2 large eggs
1/3 cup non-hydrogenated, non-dairy margarine, melted, cooled
1/2 cup granulated sugar
1/2 cup dried cranberries
1/4 tsp freshly squeezed lemon juice
Ingredient Option: replace the margarine with canola oil, if desired.

Preheat the oven to 350°F. Lightly grease an 8½ by 4½ by 2½-inch loaf pan with a small amount of margarine.

Combine the flour, oats, baking powder and salt in a large bowl. Mix together with a whisk and set aside. Whisk the bananas, eggs and margarine together in a bowl. Add the sugar, cranberries, and lemon juice; mix until blended. Gently stir the banana mixture into the flour mixture until just combined. Do not over mix the batter.

Pour the batter into the prepared loaf pan and bake until lightly browned, 45 to 50 minutes. Allow the bread to cool completely in the pan, about 1 hour. Turn the bread out onto a cutting board and, using a serrated bread knife slice the bread into 3/4-inch thick pieces. Arrange on a platter and serve.

VEGAN CORNBREAD

Mix together the following:

1 cup plain cornmeal
2 Tbs. wheat germ
1 tsp. salt
1/2 cup whole wheat flour
1/2 cup oat flour (whiz oats in your blender)
1 Tbs. Baking Powder


Blend the following in a separate bowl:

1 1/4 cup water or vegan milk of your choice ( I like rice milk)
1/4 cup sugar free applesauce
1 1/2 tsp. egg replacer (see the cooking without eggs article)

Combine together the wet and dry ingredients. You may have to add some more water, if too thick. Bake in a hot oiled pan at 450 degrees for about 20 minutes or until golden brown. A black iron skillet works best. If you want a sweet cornbread, just add some honey to the water. This recipe works well for a cornbread dressing, since it is not so sweet. The applesauce replaces the oil. Enjoy!
