While making this internal temp banana bread, this recipe calls for a helping of cranberries. Cranberries are delicious on their own but combining them in a banana bread batter only adds to the taste. The process isn’t complicated at all and you can make it in a short time, efficiently.

Ingredients we used:

1 cup of sugar
5 tablespoons of unsalted butter
1 cup of mashed ripe banana
¼ cup of whole milk

2 cups of all-purpose flour
2 teaspoons of baking powder

1 ½ cups of roughly chopped fresh cranberries

Method of Preparing High Altitude Banana Bread

Step 1: Preheat the oven to 350 degrees F. Place the oven rack in the middle of the oven.

Step 3: In a medium mixing bowl, thoroughly combine the sugar and butter. Combine the banana, milk, vanilla, and eggs in a mixing bowl. Mix well. 

Step 4: Mix in the dry ingredients until they are just moistened. Combine the nuts and cranberries in a mixing bowl. In the loaf pan, evenly distribute the batter.

Step 5: Bake the batter for about 1 hour and 10 minutes in the oven, or until a toothpick inserted in the center comes out clean. Remove from the pan and cool on a cooling rack. 

Step 6: Drizzle icing and sprinkle some cinnamon powder or powdered sugar on top of the bread. Cut into loaves. Serve and enjoy!
