Steps

1Pre-heat oven to 350F/180C. Grease and flour or spray a 9 inch / 23cm loaf pan.
2Soak the cranberries in boiling water for 15 minutes, drain well and paper towel dry.
3In a large bowl whisk together the flour, baking powder, salt, nuts and drained cranberries. Set aside.
4In the mixing bowl cream the sugars and butter for 2 minutes. Add the eggs and beat, add the milk and vanilla beat to combine. Using a wooden spoon or spatula stir in the mashed bananas just until combined. Add the flour mixture and stir just to combine, 14-15 stirs (no more). The batter will be lumpy.
5Transfer the batter to the prepared pan. Bake 60-70 minutes or until a toothpick comes out clean or a few crumbs attached. Let cool in the pan 10-15 minutes then remove to a wire rack to cool completely. Drizzle with the glaze if desired before serving. Enjoy!

7In a medium bowl whisk together the powdered sugar (sift it first if you find it lumpy) vanilla and milk, start with 1-2 tablespoons and add if needed to arrive at desired thickness. Drizzle or spread over cooled loaf.
