Ingredients

• 1 cup Frozen or fresh cranberries
• 2 cups Whole wheat flour
• 1 tablespoon Baking powder
• 0.5 teaspoon Salt
• 1 cup Unsweetened applesauce
• 2 large Eggs
• 1 teaspoon Vanilla extract
• 1 tablespoon Orange zest
• 0.5 cup Milk (or unsweetened almond milk for dairy-free)
• 0.5 cup Chopped walnuts (optional)

Directions

Step 1

Preheat your oven to 350°F (175°C). Grease a 9x5-inch loaf pan or line it with parchment paper.

Step 2

In a medium-sized bowl, combine the whole wheat flour, baking powder, and salt. Stir together with a whisk until well mixed.

Step 3

In a separate large bowl, beat the eggs until they are light and fluffy. Add the unsweetened applesauce, vanilla extract, orange zest, and milk. Mix until everything is combined.

Step 4

Gradually add the dry ingredients into the wet ingredients, stirring carefully until just combined. Do not overmix.

Step 5

Gently fold in the cranberries and chopped walnuts (if using) with a spatula, evenly distributing them throughout the batter.

Step 6

Pour the batter into the prepared loaf pan, smoothing the top with the back of the spatula.

Step 7

Bake in the preheated oven for 50 to 55 minutes, or until a toothpick inserted into the center of the bread comes out clean.

Step 8

Allow the bread to cool in the pan for about 10 minutes, then carefully remove from the pan and transfer to a wire rack to cool completely.

Step 9

Slice and serve as a delicious sugar-free treat. Store any leftovers in an airtight container.
