Another Winner from AllRecipes.com's Ingredient Search

I still had some of Mom's whole-berry cranberry sauce in the fridge, left over from Thanksgiving, and have been feeling guilty about it. Plus we have another pile of overripe bananas. And we're a little tired of banana bread. Or at least I am.

I found this Cranberry Banana Coffee Cake on AllRecipes.com's ingredient search by putting down cranberry sauce and bananas in the ingredients list and "bread" as an alternate keyword. This is really good! Quick to make and very fragrant. It doesn't puff up really tall, so with every bite you get cranberries and crunchy topping stuff.
