It's that time of the year when everything seems to be full of sugar, wheat, nuts and dairy.
Trying to find a healthier choice for breakfast as a gluten free or dairy free eater is kinda tough.
Luckily, when you start out from good choices, the finished product is lovely and satisfying.
Combining Fresh cranberries, organic oranges along with a judicious amount of brown sugar, and olive oil lightens this Cranberry bread from the more common fatty and sugary version.
Even better, this bread holds well, making it a perfect choice for holiday gifting with an accompaniment of Cranberry Orange Compound Butter.
Although this bread does use brown sugar, the balanced flavor is worth it. I've got a test of coconut sugar in the planning for this week.
