1-2 TB chopped fresh ginger
1 cup cranberries (optional)

Preheat the oven to 350 degrees F (175 degrees C). Grease 6 loaf pans or 4 bread loaf pans.
Peel bananas and place in a bowl or stand mixer.
Mix on low to thoroughly mash.

We’ve discovered non-crystallized ginger chunks and we love them! Highly recommended. Without the added sugar but just as flavorful.

The cranberries are optional but do add a nice extra flavor.
In a separate bowl mix the dry ingredients together.
Then add to the wet mixture (after you stop the mixer). Mix together, gently at first, to combine.
Pour into greased loaf pans and bake at 350F for 35 minutes (or up to 1 hour if you are using four bread loaf pans).
Cool loaves on a wire rack for 5 minutes.
