4. In another bowl, whisk together eggs, buttermilk and vanilla. Add to butter/banana mixture and mix on med-high until combined. Scrape down sides and bottom of bowl well.
5. In large bowl combine dry ingredients. Use a wire whisk to mix. Remove 2 teaspoons of flour mixture into small bowl and add cranberries and white chocolate. Stir to coat well.
6. Add dry ingredients to wet. Start mixing on low and work up to high speed about 30 seconds total.
7. Add in chips and cranberries. Mix again on med-low, just until combined.
