0.000 HBDCranana Chumpkin Bread - Lori's Cookbook
This is my entry for this week's @foodfightfriday challenge. What happens when you take a recipe and twist it? It becomes your own! I took a pumpkin-banana bread recipe and added cranberries and chocolate chips to it. But when you say all those things at the same time, the recipe becomes a bit unwieldy. Introducing my... ## Cranana Chumpkin Bread!  ### Process (This time, I was making a double recipe.) Begin by: * Preheat oven to 350F. * Grease and flour 2-3 bread pans.  Mash: * 2 over-ripe bananas (picture shows 4 because I was making a double recipe.)  Add: * 1 cup soaked cranberries (mine were leftover from making cranberry juice) * 1 cup pumpkin puree (Picture shows the double recipe I was making.) Set this bowl aside.  In a clean bowl, mash with the back of a wooden spoon: * 1/3 cup softened butter (picture shows double recipe.)  Mash into the butter (this process is called creaming): * 1 1/3 cup granulated sugar  This is what it looks like afterwards. It doesn't have to be perfect for this recipe, but the butter should be well-incorporated into the sugar.  Stir in: * 4 eggs * 1/3 cup oil (I almost always use olive oil) * 1/2 teaspoon vanilla  This is how it looks afterwards. You can use a hand mixer if you desire, but for this recipe it's not critical. The butter will melt during baking.  Stir in: * 3 1/2 cups flour * 3 1/2 teaspoons pumpkin pie spice * 2 teaspoons baking powder * 1/2 teaspoon baking soda * 1/2 teaspoon salt (Picture shows my double recipe.)  Carefully stir in: * mixed fruit (from earlier) * chocolate chips (I used a large bag for my double recipe - add what you think feels right for you.)  My batter is ready for the oven.  Spoon/pour into the prepared bread pans. Never fill the pan more than about 2/3 full or it will rise over the top of the pan!  Bake 50 minutes at 350F. Cover with foil (if you like - I didn't) and bake another 10 minutes until a knife or skewer pushed into the middle of the bread comes out clean (or with only molten chocolate!) Allow to cool before removing from the pans. Butter if desired.  ### Recipe Card As always, feel free to print these out and put them in your recipe collection.     Two of my kitchen witches. One hung in my grandmother's kitchen as long as I can remember, so I have mine - adding a certain magickal spice to my cooking, presumably... My grandmother's now lives in my mother's kitchen. ## Previous recipes in Lori's Cookbook (Links are for Steem...
