🥘 Ingredients

9 items

• 3 medium ripe bananas
• 2 cups Bisquick Original Mix
• 0.75 cups granulated sugar
• 0.25 cups vegetable oil
• 2 large eggs
• 1 teaspoons vanilla extract
• 1 teaspoons ground cinnamon
• 0.5 cups dried cranberries (craisins)
• 0.5 cups chopped nuts (optional, e.g., walnuts or pecans)

📝 Instructions

9 steps

1. Preheat your oven to 350°F (175°C). Grease a 9x5-inch loaf pan or line it with parchment paper for easy removal.

2. In a large mixing bowl, mash the ripe bananas with a fork until smooth and creamy.

3. Add the granulated sugar, vegetable oil, eggs, and vanilla extract to the mashed bananas. Whisk together until fully combined.

4. Stir in the ground cinnamon and Bisquick mix. Fold gently until just incorporated. Be careful not to overmix the batter, as this could make the bread dense.

5. Fold in the dried cranberries and chopped nuts (if using), ensuring they are evenly distributed throughout the batter.

6. Pour the batter into the prepared loaf pan, spreading it evenly with a spatula.

7. Bake in the preheated oven for 55-60 minutes, or until a toothpick inserted into the center comes out clean.

8. Remove the bread from the oven and allow it to cool in the pan for 10 minutes. Then carefully transfer it to a wire rack to cool completely.

9. Slice and serve! Store any leftovers in an airtight container at room temperature for up to 3 days, or refrigerate for longer freshness.
