Banana Almond Cranberry Bread

Last whole week, we were traveling around North Carolina and South Carolina. Before going on the trip, I made sure that no food is left outside from the refrigerator to avoid spoiling. And also I didn't buy any food which we won't be able to use in next week and can't survive for one week. But I totally forgot about bananas.

Bananas were raw when we went. When we came back, the bananas got over ripe. Now what? No one was ready to eat over ripe bananas. I, myself, don't like to eat over ripe banana. So, what should I do? I thought about it and went through my recipes. I find the recipe for Banana Walnut Bread. I decided to use this recipe with some variations.
