I always make Pumpkin Bread in the fall. This year I wanted to do something a little different so decided to add some Cranberries to the Pumpkin Bread.

Like most pumpkin bread recipes this one is pretty straightforward to make, making it perfect for both novice and experienced bakers

Just keep in mind this recipe will make enough batter for 2 loaves.

Did you know that Pumpkin is rich in vitamins and antioxidants, and cranberries are known for their health benefits, including being a good source of vitamin C and antioxidants?

When combined with bread like this, it’s a delicious way to incorporate these nutrients into your diet. But more importantly, this bread is also delicious!

If you decide to use frozen cranberries instead of fresh, there is no need to thaw them out first. Simply fold the frozen cranberries into the batter and let the baking process take care of the rest.

And if you don’t have either one on hand, you can substitute for a similar amount of dried cranberries.
