Be sure to mix the liquid and dry ingredients only until moistened.  Over mixing causes a coarse, tough texture.

Test loaves for doneness 10-15 minutes before the end of the recommended baking time.  The bread is done if a toothpick inserted near the center comes out clean.

Quick breads such as banana, zucchini, and cranberry taste and slice best when served a day after baking.  Wrap the cooled bread in foil or plastic wrap; leave at room temperature overnight.
