Dairy Free Cranberry Banana Bread

I was on a dairy free diet for a year. As a dessert lover, it was very difficult. Almost every recipe needs butter and milk. So, I turned my kitchen into a lab and started experimenting with different flavours and ingredients. This recipe is one of my favourites, I made it at least once a week and now that I can eat dairy again I still make it often.

This recipe is perfect if you don't have a mixer, it's very easy to mix by hand and you could have a fresh loaf of banana bread in less than 1 hour.

The cranberries and the bananas are the perfect match, they add a lot of flavour and colour to this dessert.
