2. In a large mixing bowl, beat together the butter and sugar until creamy and well combined.

3. Add the eggs, one at a time, beating well after each addition, until the mixture is smooth and fluffy.

4. Mash the bananas with a fork or potato masher until smooth. Stir them into the butter-sugar mixture until fully incorporated.

5. Gently fold in the cranberries until evenly distributed throughout the batter.

6. In another bowl, combine the flour, baking powder, salt, and ground cinnamon. Mix well to ensure even distribution of the dry ingredients.

7. Add the dry ingredients to the wet ingredients all at once. Stir just until the dry ingredients are moistened and no large streaks of flour remain. Be careful not to overmix, as this can lead to a dense loaf.

8. Pour the batter into the prepared loaf pan, spreading it out evenly with a spatula.

9. Bake in the preheated oven for about 60 minutes, or until a toothpick inserted into the center of the bread comes out clean.

10. Once done, remove the bread from the oven and allow it to cool in the pan for about 10-15 minutes.

11. Carefully transfer the bread from the pan to a wire rack to cool completely before slicing and serving.

12. Enjoy a slice of this delightful Cranberry Banana Bread with a cup of tea or coffee, or pack it into lunchboxes for a tasty and nutritious treat on the go.
