Ingredients
  

  • 1/2 cup butter or non-dairy substitute (e.g. Earth Balance® Buttery Sticks)
  • 1/2 cup granulated cane sugar
  • 2 large eggs (or egg substitute of choice)
  • 1/2 cup sour cream dairy or non-dairy (Follow Your Heart® or Tofutti®) or plain yogurt
  • 1 mashed ripe banana
  • 1 tsp. pure vanilla extract
  • 1 1/2 cups (202 grams) gfJules Gluten Free All Purpose Flour
  • 2 Tbs. flaxseed meal (or use gfJules Gluten Free All Purpose Flour)
  • 1 tsp. baking soda
  • 2 tsp. baking powder
  • 2 tsp. cinnamon
  • 3 cups chopped fresh or frozen cranberries
  • 1/2 cup chopped walnuts (optional)

Instructions

  • Preheat oven to 350° F (static) or 325° F (convection).
  • Oil or line with muffin papers 21-23 muffin tins and set aside; alternatively, oil one loaf pan.
  • Cream the butter and sugar until the mixture is light and fluffy. Add the eggs and vanilla and beat well. Mix in the sour cream and banana until well blended.
  • In a separate bowl, whisk together all dry ingredients then gradually incorporate into the wet batter. Lastly, stir the chopped cranberries and walnuts into the batter gently.
  • Spoon the batter into the prepared muffin tins and bake for 25-30 minutes, or until the tops are lightly browned and they spring back to the touch. If baking as a loaf, spoon into loaf pan and smooth the top; bake for 60 minutes.
  • The bread is done when the top is lightly browned and a cake tester or toothpick inserted into the center comes out clean. Cool in the pan before removing and slicing.
