Oatmeal cranberry-banana bread

I didn’t know January was National Oatmeal Month. It makes sense though because everybody’s New Year’s resolutions include sensible eating habits. Well, it’s already mid-February and I’m committed to eating more oatmeal.

Better than a Banana Bread

Precisely with that in mind, I created this super moist, not so sweet, and hearty oatmeal cranberry-banana bread. It’s delicious as a breakfast option and also as a snack.

When you taste it you won’t believe what I’m going to tell you. A loaf that serves 15 portions only has ¼ cup of melted butter. It only has ¼ cup of lightly packed brown sugar. Even better, it comes with 1 cup of Old Fashioned Quaker Oats. Bingo!

How to make Oatmeal Cranberry-Banana Bread

The trick to make this so moist bread is to hydrate the oats with fat-free milk. Once hydrated, the oats are combined with mashed bananas.

To add some texture, it comes with crunchy pecans and sweet and sour dry cranberries. For the pecans and cranberry to be evenly distributed on the bread, I cover them with flour before adding them to the batter.

This bread is really good a few days later when you slice it and toast it.

    I tried this tonight, but with fresh cranberries…realized I was going to have some extras after using the rest for the holidays and decided to give the substitution a whirl. Still tastes very good and might even add to the moistness a bit.
    I did adjust the sugar by adding a couple extra tablespoons as I did not want the bread to be too tart. Still has a good flavor. I also made three mini loaves instead if a single large loaf and baked them for 25 minutes. This was appropriate for Colorado where there is a higher altitude. (They look just like the large loaf pictured in this recipe only smaller.)

    I am not a banana fan what so ever so i decided to bake one with the banana and one without. I absolutely loved mine, the one without banana. Everyone who ate the one with banana liked that one also and most of them don’t normally like cranberries.

    This recipe looks great. I was just looking for a banana bread recipe that was a little different. Never had thought of putting cinnamon, nutmeg or dried cranberries in it. The Quaker Oatmeal is the best since it is so good for you. Thanks!

    I love the banana bread recipe a lot; but with my rush routine it’s the instant oatmeal cups that Quaker makes. I may add a splash of milk and more fruit. It is nice to have a hot breakfast sometimes, especially this time of year. wacky weather

  74. I have always loved good old-fashioned oatmeal for breakfast with a little half&half and a spoonful of raisins and brown sugar. I like using it for no-bake oatmeal cookies.
