Cranberry & White Chocolate Banana Bread

I was a little disappointed in the last granola bars I made and intend to try various different recipes until I find a good one but meanwhile last night I was taken by an urge to make a banana loaf. I was home alone and couldn’t be bothered making dinner just for myself so I baked the loaf and ate a slice – delicious. Not that I would recommend this as a balanced meal but it did have protein (eggs), fruit (cranberries, lemon and bananas) and carbs (flour). The only sugar was 1/2 cup of honey with the rest of the sweetness coming from the fruit. I found this recipe here.
