I still have a hand written recipe for banana bread (18 years old!) from a lovely lady named Sandy. I never got mine to taste as amazing as hers so over the years the recipe has morphed into this, in an effort to reduce sugar, and most recently...incorporate cranberries into banana bread. Tweak away to suit your preferences!!
