Equipment

  • 9x5" loaf pan

Ingredients
  

  • 1 cup craisins
  • 1 cup Liquorless Orange Liqueur
  • 1/2 cup butter (1 stick, softened)
  • 3/4 cup brown sugar (packed)
  • 2 cups flour
  • 1 tsp baking soda
  • 1/4 tsp salt
  • 1 tsp cinnamon
  • 1/2 tsp ground cloves
  • 3 overripe bananas (mashed)
  • 2 eggs

Instructions
 

  • Soak the craisins in the Liquorless Orange Liqueur overnight in the fridge in a covered bowl.
  • Preheat the oven to 350°F. Grease a 9x5" loaf tin and set aside. In a large bowl, stir together the flour, baking soda, salt, and spices.
  • In the bowl of a stand mixer, cream together the butter and sugar until light in color, about 3 minutes. Add the bananas and eggs and mix again for around 2 minutes. Gently stir in the dry ingredients until well-incorporated. Fold in the cranberries (and add any leftover liquid), then pour the batter into the prepared pan.
  • Bake for 55-65 minutes, until a skewer inserted in the middle comes out clean. Allow to cool in the pan for about 20 minutes, then turn out onto a wire rack and let cool completely. Slice and enjoy with a mug of tea on a cool autumn morning!
