Cranberry Nut Bread ..

This is a Gluten-Free recipe :

***2c. Gluten Free All Purpose flour ***
3/4c. scant granulated sugar
1/2 tsp. salt
1 1/2 tsp. baking powder
***1 tsp. xanthan gum ***
1 T. grated orange zest
3/4 c. fresh or commercial orange juice
1/4 c. melted butter
2 eggs
1 c. whole cranberries
3/4 c. nuts (save some for top of bread)

Pre-heat oven to 350 deg.

Mix all dry ingredients together.
Mix all wet ingredients together.

Blend both dry & wet until just moist.
Fold in whole cranberries and chopped nuts.

Spoon into well-buttered glass loaf pan.
Top with sprinkle of granulated sugar; add the rest of the nuts over the sugar.

Bake at least 45 min. (mine took a bit longer). Top will begin to separate a bit and tester will come out dry when done.

Remove from oven, but let cool in baking dish for at least 10 min.
After releasing from baking dish, place on cooling rack.

This is supposed to be better the next day. So, when totally cool, wrap tightly.
[this is so moist; a bit on the tart side, but was a hit... 'you mean this is Gluten Free?' GF does not equate to *taste free* ]

********
If making with regular flour, use All Purpose and leave out the xanthan gum. If you make it this way, send me a photo so we can compare !

Banana Bread
Oven at 350 deg / grease a 9x5 pan (the picture is not in a 9x5, so that is why it spilled over..now gotta clean the oven!

You need: all purpose flour; baking powder; salt; baking soda; 1 stick butter; 3 eggs; salt;sugar (either brown and/or granulated);cinnamon;nutmeg;cloves (or ginger,allspice); chopped nuts; about 5 bananas total..

Combine:
2 1/3 c. all purpose flour / Gluten Free
3 tsp. baking powder
1/2 tsp. baking soda
1/2 tsp. salt

In a large bowl, cream:
1 stick butter.. softened
with 1 c. sugar...
then add 3 eggs. Mix well.

Mash 3 large bananas (ripe).. add to the butter mix.
Add: 1 tsp. ground cinnamon
1/2 tsp. nutmeg (ground)
1/4 tsp. ground cloves
(if you don't have all these, ginger and allspice can be used as a sub)

Add: flour mixture.. little at a time. Mix well.

Fold in 1/2cup chopped nuts (toasting them first, gives a really nice flavor)

Pour mixture in 9 x 5 loaf pan.

Now......... this is from Brandon [on the other side] ---
make a mixture of brown sugar and/or granulated sugar and a lot of ground cinnamon.
Slice more bananas and cover the entire top of the loaf. Sprinkle liberally with the cinnamon/sugar mix.

Bake at 350 deg.... check at 45 min. When tester comes out clean, remove from oven (my loaf took almost a full hour).
Cool in pan for 10 min., turn out on a rack to finish cooling (put wax paper beneath the rack)
Enjoy!
