We love a good banana bread recipe here at the Sneaky Veg house. I often buy extra bananas just so that we can make a loaf once they’ve started to go brown. This banana cranberry bread recipe is a little different as it contains some Christmassy spices and some dried fruit – making it perfect to eat if you’re feeling festive. 

The extra dried fruit makes this banana bread chewy and sweet and the spices just add that little hint of Christmas – my husband said that this is the best banana bread I’ve ever made. And he’s had a lot to choose from like this sweet potato banana bread with chocolate chips, banana and strawberry bread (not vegan) and this classic vegan banana bread.

Is it easy to make vegan banana bread?

It really surprised me how easy it was to make banana bread without eggs and butter – I have the Honey & Co baking book to thank for showing me the way. This recipe doesn’t require any weird ingredients and it tastes delicious. My banana cranberry bread is nut free so can be used in lunch boxes.
