- 1 cup flour (all-purpose or whole wheat)
- 1 teaspoon baking powder
- 1/2 teaspoon baking soda

- 1/4 cup olive oil (or melted coconut oil)
- 2 large eggs

- 1/2 cup fresh or dried cranberries
Instructions
Follow these simple steps to create your Cranberry Banana Oat Bread:
- Preheat your oven to 350°F (175°C) and grease a loaf pan.
- In a large bowl, combine the rolled oats, flour, baking powder, baking soda, and salt. Mix thoughtfully to ensure even distribution.
- In another bowl, whisk together the brown sugar, olive oil, and eggs until smooth. Stir in the mashed bananas.
- Gradually mix the wet ingredients into the dry ingredients until just combined. Be careful not to overmix!
- Fold in the cranberries, ensuring they’re evenly distributed throughout the batter.
- Pour the batter into the prepared loaf pan, and spread it out evenly.
- Bake in the preheated oven for about 50-60 minutes, or until a toothpick inserted in the center comes out clean. If the top starts to brown too quickly, cover it with aluminum foil.
- Once baked, remove from the oven and let it cool in the pan for about 10 minutes before transferring it to a wire rack to cool completely.
