The Recipe

Ingredients

Recipe Ingredients

  • 1 cup canned pumpkin
  • 1 cup fresh cranberries (or frozen)
  • 1 cup sugar
  • 1/2 cup milk
  • 2 eggs
  • 1/4 cup butter (melted)
  • 2 cups flour
  • 2 tsp baking powder
  • 1/2 tsp baking soda
  • 1 tsp cinnamon

Directions

Recipe Directions

  • In a bowl, mix pumpkin, sugar, milk, eggs and butter.

  • Grease a loaf pan (9×5 inch) and bake at 350 for 70 minutes.
  • Cool and serve.


Notes & Options:

There are lots of ways to modify this loaf or cranberry bread to spice it up, down or just change it to suit your palate. You can try:

– Adding chocolate chips (white or dark) or raisins to make it sweeter. Using dry cranberries instead of fresh fulfills this function as well.
– Add 1/2 tsp each of nutmeg and ginger if you want it holiday spicy-like.
Half the cranberries and walnuts as some people find a whole cup of each too much. They prefer a higher bread-to-berry ratio.
Omit the cranberries and instead use a fresh, homemade cranberry topping to top the sliced bread with.

Make it Healthy – Replacing the sugar with granulated sweetener and make sure the canned pumpkin has no added sugar. Replacing this one ingredient will turn this recipe into a healthy, sugar-free bread instead of a dessert.

Make it Vegan – Replace the milk with almond milk, the butter with vegan butter or applesauce and the eggs with egg substitute powders or mashed bananas.
