The BEST Gluten-Free Cranberry Honey Bread…for your holiday baking. Where shall I start? Beautiful, moist, fresh cranberries, dates, pecans and honey, makes for the most delicious holiday bread. In this recipe I am using my favourite ingredient, fresh cranberries, It doesn’t get more festive than that. I have added a few dates to add sweetness and balance the tart cranberries. Cranberries are super tart, so I added a few dates to cut back on the sweetener. The dates compliment the cranberries perfectly. I have also added pecans for some crunchy texture. Not only this gluten-free cranberry honey bread is simple to make, but it is also delicious and festive. During the holiday season, it is all about beautiful food that tastes good. One of my holidays favourite ingredients is fresh cranberries. Every year it has been a tradition in my home to make gluten-free Christmas cake, but this year I changed the tradition and made this amazing – that’s right amazing cranberry honey bread. Trust me on this…it is the BEST bread for Christmas morning. Festive, delicious and utterly incredible, it doesn’t get any better than this. This cranberry honey bread can be served at room temperature, or it is even better cold straight from the fridge. You will LOVE it!

So what is cranberry honey bread?

First, it is holiday season, so in my home, anything goes 🙂 This recipe is pretty simple. First, you mix fresh cranberries, dates and pecans with honey and a sprinkle of cinnamon. For the batter, I wanted to make it simple because it is such a busy time of year, so I used a gluten-free flour blend, making it with fewer ingredients. The bread itself is made with gluten-free flour blend, light olive oil or avocado oil, eggs, vanilla, lemon juice, lemon zest and only honey as a sweetener. Once the batter is done, fold in the delicious cranberry mixture and bake. Doesn’t this sound exceptional? Because the bread has so much fruit, it takes a little longer to bake than your typical gluten-free bread recipe. But believe me, it is well worth it. Enjoy and happy holidays.
