It has been a very cold and snowy January which has inspired me to do a lot of baking to warm the house up. I was going to make some banana bread, but after mixing the dry ingredients together, I discovered that the bananas were too far gone. That led me to devise this new recipe.

Ingredients:

2 cups flour
¼ to ½ cup organic sugar, depending on your sweet tooth.
1 teaspoon baking powder
½ teaspoon baking soda
½ teaspoon salt
½ cup canola oil
½ cup almond milk
¼ cup dried cranberries
1/8 cup diced ginger
¼ cup chopped walnuts
¼ cup flax seeds, optional
¼ cup sesame seeds, optional

Directions:

Mix the first five ingredients together. Add the oil and milk. Stir in the rest of the ingredients, except the sesame seeds and mix well. Oil a bread pan and sprinkle sesame seeds on top, if desired. Bake about 20-30 minutes, or until a toothpick comes out clean.

Enjoy!
