  • 1/2 cup butter softened
  • 1/2 cup sugar
  • 1/2 cup brown sugar
  • 2 eggs
  • 1 tsp. vanilla
  • 1/4 tsp cinnamon
  • 1 tsp. baking soda
  • 1/2 tsp salt
  • 1 1/2 cups flour
  • 1/2 cup yogurt, we love to use vanilla plain yogurt, greek yogurt and sour cream can all be used
  • 1 cup cranberries, fresh or frozen we usually cut our fresh cranberries in half, but that is optional!
  • 1/4 cup coarse/sparkling sugar

Instructions

  • Mash bananas in a small bowl and set aside. 
  • In a large bowl, Mix together butter and both sugars just until blended.  Add eggs and vanilla. Stir in bananas.
  • In a separate bowl whisk together flour, cinnamon, baking soda and salt.  Mix your dry ingredients with your wet ingredients. Stir in vanilla yogurt and cranberries Pour into a greased loaf pan. Top with coarse sugar.
  • Bake at 350 degrees in a greased loaf pan for about 1 hour or until a toothpick in the center comes out clean.  Towards the end of baking you may need to add a piece of foil on top so the top doesn't get overly browned.
