Preheat the oven to 350 degrees Fahrenheit. Grease a standard loaf pan with cooking spray.
In a large mixing bowl, cream together butter and sugar using a hand mixer or your stand mixer.
Add eggs, mashed bananas and vanilla extract. Mix to combine.
In a medium mixing bowl, mix together all of the dry ingredients. Combine flour, pie spice, baking soda and salt, stir to combine.
Slowly add dry ingredients to wet ingredients, mixing to incorporate.
Pour batter into a prepared loaf pan.
Top banana bread batter with 4 tablespoons of cranberry sauce. Using a butter knife, draw lines through the cranberry sauce to swirl it throughout the top of the banana bread.
Bake for approximately 50-60 minutes until the top of the bread starts to turn golden brown, and the center is cooked through. Remove and allow to cool on a wire rack.
Enjoy!
Notes
Leftover Cranberry Sauce Muffins: Follow the preparation instructions and place banana batter in muffin tin, then place a small dollop of cranberry sauce on top and swirl with a toothpick. Bake time will be right around 15 minutes.
