Banana Nut Craisin Bread

Tracie Walker
Everyone loves the old favorites at the holidays, but sometimes we all get a craving for something new. One day I was in that mood and came up with something that mixed a favorite with a new twist in a delicious way. Following is the recipe I created called Banana Nut Craisin Bread. Rich and moist and flavorful, I think you're gonna love it. Serve it to your company, take it to a party, give it as a gift. Or just sit and enjoy a slice with a glass of eggnog!

Banana Nut Craisin Bread

3 1/2 cups flour
1 teaspoon baking powder
1 teaspoon baking soda
1/2 teaspoon salt
1+1/2 cups sugar
1/2 cup butter
2 eggs
3 Tablespoons milk
2 Tablespoons eggnog
4 ripe, mashed bananas
1 cup chopped mixed nuts
2 cups Craisins

Heat oven to 350 degrees

Mix first 4 ingredients in small bowl.
Cream sugar with butter until light and stir in eggs.
Beat in bananas, milk and eggnog.
Beat flour mixture into banana mixture thoroughly; stir in nuts and craisins.
Divide evenly between 2 greased loaf pans.
Bake for 1 hour, cool and slice.

    Sounds good, you mixed dried cranberries and banana nut bread, two of my favorite things.
