Cranberry Nut Quick Bread is a festive addition to any holiday table.
Have you ever baked something for the very first time, then asked yourself, what have you been waiting for? My sentiments after baking my inaugural loaf of cranberry nut quick bread. My family must have felt the same; they polished off this loaf in less than one day!
Now, 2 days before Christmas, they’re asking for another. Truth is, it’s so easy to make, anyone can pull it off at the last minute.
The original recipe was on page 54 (yes a carry over from my December Recipe Redux challenge) of the Philadelphia Orchestra Cookbook. Inspired by the Cranberry Marketing Committee ingredient suggestions for Friendsgiving, I substituted in a small portion of oat flour for some of the all-purpose flour, pistachios for the walnuts and added ginger (a relative of tumeric). The bread makes a nice last minute gift, a festive addition to Christmas Eve dinner, or Christmas dessert buffet. Oh, and it is sooo Santa Claus worthy!!!
