Cranberry Banana Bread

NOTE: This recipe makes TWO loaves of bread. I cut it in half and only made one loaf. 😉👍💕
Ingredients
1 cup unsalted butter, softened
3 eggs
2 egg whites
1 tsp. vanilla
1 cup brown sugar
1 cup white sugar
6 very ripe bananas, mashed
3 3/4 cups all purpose flour
1 tsp. salt
2 tsp. baking soda
1 tsp. baking powder
1 cup buttermilk
2 cups fresh cranberries, rinsed and roughly chopped
1 Tbsp. sugar

Instructions
Preheat the oven to 350 degrees.
Roughly chop the cranberries in your food processor, then place in a small mixing bowl and sprinkle with the 1 Tbsp. of sugar (you can add a little more if you like) and gently mix together.
Set aside.
Sift the flour, soda, powder and salt and set aside.
In your Kitchen Aid Mixer, beat the butter with the sugars until fluffy.
Add the eggs and egg whites one at a time and beat well after each addition.
Add the vanilla and mix.
Add the mashed bananas and mix until well combined.
Slowly add the dry ingredients, alternating with the buttermilk until combined well.
Don’t forget to scrape down the bowl to make sure everything gets blended well.
Carefully fold in the chopped cranberries.
Evenly fill 2 large, greased loaf pans with the batter.
You can also use 3 medium loaf pans or 1 large and 3 small loaf pans, filling about 3/4 full.
Bake for 1 hour and 10 minutes, or until a toothpick inserted into the center of the bread comes out clean. (Ovens vary)
Let cool for at least 30 minutes or completely on a wire rack before removing the bread from the loaf pan.
Serve with fresh butter.
*If freezing: Let cool completely and wrap well in plastic wrap and store in a plastic freezer bag.
