At this time of year — from Thanksgiving through Christmas — I just can’t get enough of tangy cranberries and sweet oranges. The combination of these fruits is so traditionally festive to me and since I’ve watched Kenya down an entire cup of cranberry sauce in one sitting on more then one occasion, I knew he would love this bread. The other thing I love about this cranberry orange nut bread is that it is full of fruit and protein and has NO refined sugar, so you won’t feel guilty letting the little ones dig in as much as they like. I decided to make mini loaves so I could give them to friends as holiday gifts, but you could just as easily cook it in a single 9 x 5 inch pan and enjoy the entire loaf at home with your family!

  3. I haven’t tested it, but it should work just fine! It might be a little more dense and nutty!

  4. Hi! I have made these the last 2 Christmases and they are so good, but each time I end up with little patches throughout that instead of a bread consistency are kinda mushy. I am worried it’s underdone, but I have tried baking it 10-20 min longer and still get the same result. Any idea what would cause this?

  5. I made these for thankgiving and for some reason the bread didn’t rise. I followed the recipe exact. And reason why this could be?
