Once the chill of January sets in after the holidays, things can seem a little anticlimactic. Unless you have a tropical vacation planned, there’s not much else to do except hunker down for the winter and make the best of it.

I don’t mind too much though! Cold evenings are perfect for snuggling up with cozy blankets and mugs of steaming hot chocolate, and cold days are perfect for baking.

I buy cranberries as long as I can find them at the grocery store, mostly to make cranberry sauce for topping yogurt, oatmeal (or my noatmeal), and toast. And also, because I like to add fresh cranberries to baked goods to bump up the nutrition and for some seasonal wintry flair.

This recipe for Cranberry Orange Bread with Walnuts was adapted from my recipe for Best Paleo Sandwich Bread over on my other blog, An Edible Mosaic. Because it’s by far my favorite paleo bread! (It has great flavor and texture, and also keeps well in the fridge.)

Here I jazzed that bread up with fresh cranberries, orange zest, walnuts, vanilla, and warm spices with a bit of coconut sugar adds a touch of sweetness.

This bread ended up being perfect for breakfast or a snack along with a cup of coffee. And I like it even better toasted and topped with a pat of butter!

What is Quick Bread?

Quick bread is bread that’s not leavened with yeast. Many quick breads are leavened with baking powder and/or baking soda.

What Are Some Types of Quick Bread?

A few common types of quick bread include:

  • Banana Bread
  • Zucchini Bread
  • Pumpkin Bread

How to Make Quick Bread

Here are the basic steps for how to make quick bread:

  1. Whisk the dry ingredients in a large bowl.
  2. Whisk together the wet ingredients in a separate bowl.
  3. Use a wooden spoon to stir the wet ingredients into the dry.
  4. Pour the batter into a loaf pan and bake in a pre-heated oven until a toothpick inserted in the center comes out clean or with just a couple crumbs.
  5. Cool, and then slice and enjoy!

    Can you swap Xanthan gum and Guar gum for the arrowroot and tapioca?

      Dana, I haven’t tried this recipe with those changes (I try to avoid gums because they usually give me stomach cramping, but that doesn’t happen to everyone), but they might work in this recipe. If you give it a try, please let me know how it goes!
