Jump to Recipe

You are going to love this banana bread recipe because it's such a moist and hearty loaf of bread! The addition of the cacao nibs and the cranberries really elevates it with that pop of sweetness and chocolate deliciousness.

What I love about this bread is just how moist it is. It's also got a nice hint of chocolate with the cacao nibs and extra sweetness from the dried cranberries. It's a great breakfast, snack, or dessert. Basically, what I'm saying is I had three pieces of this bread yesterday.
