THANKS-GIVING

White Chocolate & Cranberry Walnut Banana Bread

Pre-heat oven to 350 degrees F

Mix together dry ingredients:
1 1/2 cups flour
1 tsp. baking powder

1/2 tsp. baking soda
3/4 cup of sugar
1/2 cup of brown sugar
few shakes of cinnamon
dash of nutmeg

1 cup of chopped walnuts

Blend together other ingredients in separate bowl (If you don't have an electric mixer try a potato masher and a fork):
2 eggs
2 very ripe mashed bananas
6 tbsp. of butter
1 shot of brandy
juice from 1/2 lemon
7 grinds of sea salt
splash of vanilla extract (enough so you can faintly smell fragrance in batter)
3/4 bag of Ghiradelli white chocolate chips

Blend together ingredients to create a smooth batter. (Note: At this point you may gently mix into batter one regular banana chopped into small pieces. This adds some extra texture and moisture to baked loaf)

Grease pans with butter or oil (try coconut or peanut)

Fill pans with batter

For mini loaf pans bake approx. 45 min. (perfect gift size)
Regular loaf pan bake 1hr.

Good luck!! xo jl
