--------  ------------  --------------------------------
    1 1/4           cups  all-purpose flour
       3/4           cup  quick-cooking oats
    1         tablespoon  baking powder
       1/2      teaspoon  salt
    1 1/4           cups  ripe mashed banana pulp -- (about 3 bananas)
    2              large  eggs
       1/3           cup  margarine -- see note
       1/2           cup  granulated sugar
       1/2           cup  dried cranberries
       1/4      teaspoon  lemon juice -- freshly squeezed

Note: non-hydrogenated margarine, melted and cooled or canola oil

Preheat oven to 350F. Lightly grease an 8 1/2-by-4 1/2-by-2 1/2" loaf 
pan with a small amount of margarine.

Whisk together flour, oats, baking powder and salt in a large bowl. 
Set aside. Whisk bananas, eggs and margarine together in a separate 
bowl. Add sugar, cranberries, and lemon juice; mix until blended. 
Gently stir the banana mixture into the flour mixture until just 
combined. Do not over mix the batter.

Pour the batter into the prepared loaf pan and bake until lightly 
browned, 45 to 50 minutes. Allow the bread to cool completely in the 
pan, about 1 hour. Turn the bread out onto a cutting board and, using 
a serrated bread knife, slice the bread into 3/4" thick pieces. 
Arrange on a platter and serve.
