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:
– Using fresh cranberries and then adding in some raisins to make it sweeter. Dried cranberries are already sweet but if you prefer the taste of fresh berries then you can add in the raisins. Or, use both, fresh and dried.
– Add some cinnamon to give it that raisin bread feel. Then toast it once it is sliced and add butter.
Make it Healthy – Replacing the sugar with granulated sweetener and dried cranberries for fresh will ensure your bread is sugar free and purely a whole grain food.
