Cranberry Pumpkin Bread

[heart_this] · Oct 3, 2022 · 6 Comments

Cranberry Pumpkin Bread

A moist pumpkin bread filled with tart cranberries!

Pumpkin bread is one of my favourite fall treats; there’s just something magical about that pumpkin flavour combined with the warm spices! Cranberries are another great fall ingredient and they work well in pumpkin bread! The tartness of the cranberries perfectly compliments the sweetness of the pumpkin bread and the splash of red is amazing! This recipe is pretty simple, starting out with my standard pumpkin bread recipe, with the addition of fresh cranberries. I also like to incorporate a hint of apple and citrus flavour and aroma to the bread, since they both compliment the cranberries, in the form of apple sauce and orange zest. This cranberry pumpkin bread is perfect for any time in fall and I especially like to make it for Thanksgiving!

Note: Cranberries are tart and they will create pockets of tartness as you bite into the bread. I like this commination oof sweetness and tartness, but you can add more sugar to the bread or even top it with a citrus glaze to add more to the sweetness!

      These make really nice muffins! Use the same temperature and the baking time will be around 20 minutes for a standard sized muffin pan. Enjoy!

    my wife makes this, but she adds 1 cup of white raisins that that soaks in water overnight. The moisture from the raisins insures the bread is never dry !

    Super excited to make this for a long weekend starting on Friday! I will make the icing as well for that extra touch. I am considering adding just a touch of chopped pecans since we’re in Texas!
