So what is cranberry honey bread?

First, it is holiday season, so in my home, anything goes 🙂 This recipe is pretty simple. First, you mix fresh cranberries, dates and pecans with honey and a sprinkle of cinnamon. For the batter, I wanted to make it simple because it is such a busy time of year, so I used a gluten-free flour blend, making it with fewer ingredients.

The bread itself is made with gluten-free flour blend, light olive oil or avocado oil, eggs, vanilla, lemon juice, lemon zest and only honey as a sweetener. Once the batter is done, fold in the delicious cranberry mixture and bake.

Doesn’t this sound exceptional? Because the bread has so much fruit, it takes a little longer to bake than your typical gluten-free bread recipe. But believe me, it is well worth it. Enjoy and happy holidays.
