This recipe is a cross between a classic banana bread and a tart cranberry bread, with the addition of walnuts to enhance the texture and flavor. It's the perfect balance between sweet and tart flavors, and the moist, soft crumb will have you reaching for a second slice.

150gfresh cranberries(frozen will work too)
½tsp.ground cinnamon
30mlolive oil

Mix the soft butter with the sugar. Add the eggs to the sugar and butter mixture, beat everything together until the eggs are blended.
Pour the olive oil into the mixture, add the cinnamon. Mix everything together well. Now add the diced banana and cranberries. Next add the dry ingredients: flour, baking powder, salt and chopped walnuts. Stir until the dry ingredients are mixed in and the dough is smooth.
Grease a mold with oil, sprinkle with flour. Stir the dough and place it in the mold. Bake the banana bread in a preheated oven at 180 °C (350 °F) for 45-50 minutes. Check for doneness with a toothpick.
