    Hope y'all have had enough time to recover from your sugar and carb hangover from the holidays because today I'm sharing a super delicious Healthy Cranberry Orange Oatmeal Bread! What's that? You haven't had time to recover? Well then, I suggest you eat a couple salads (like this one or this one) while the bread is baking, because it is too tasty not to make!

    I decided on this Healthy Cranberry Orange Oatmeal Bread to use up all of the extra cranberries lying around from holiday cranberry sauce and my yummy Spiced Cranberry Mules. Those bags of fresh cranberries seem everlasting, don't they? I didn’t want to make cookies, because we already had a house full of them, and you can only make the same cranberry and blueberry yogurt for so many days. But since I'm making an effort to waste less food, I needed to use those bad boys up. Cranberry and orange are a classic combination, so it seemed perfect.

    This bread is a perfect morning snack or breakfast. It's not too sweet, and it has lots of filling fiber from oats. Plus it is studded with beautiful tart cranberries! It's just delicious with a bit of honey drizzled over the top.

    You could also use dried cranberries, but the fresh ones are so gorgeous! If you do use dried, make sure you soak them in some boiling water for a few minutes first to plump them up. And if you have cuties lying around, you can use those in place of a regular orange!

    While this recipe is not vegan, you could try experimenting with more flax and liquid instead of the eggs. You could also try substituting your favorite gluten-free flour for the wheat flour, but I haven’t done either. (If you try it, let me know!)

      I love this recipe. I’ve made it 3 times now and it’s my new go-to. It’s not overly sweet and is full of flavour and nutritious elements.

      Hubby and I love it! I used frozen cranberries and subbed maple syrup in place of honey (so 11 m.o. can enjoy, too) to make 12 muffins. I placed walnut halves on top of the muffins, both for garnish and so we can pick them off easily before giving to our baby. I checked the muffins at 20 mins and they were done. Hubby and I love how perfectly tasty they are without being overly sweet; they taste so healthy and I can’t wait to see how my baby will like it when he wakes up.

      THANK YOU for sharing this wholesome recipe and for giving me a great way to use up the frozen cranberries and ground flaxseed that I’ve kept in storage in my freezer! 😉

      I made these using only 3/4 C dried cranberries. I also just used reg quick cook oats, not ground. They turned out lovely,. Great fresh from the oven, not topped with anything. Seems healthy and delicious. Tried to attach picture but I don't know how.

      Hi! I don’t bake (or cook), but want to try this! Can I use regular flour or bread flour (it’s what I have in the pantry)? Also, can I use unsweetened coconut milk (or whole cows milk) instead of almond milk? Thank you!!

        Hi Michelle!
        I haven't ever tried it with regular flour, but I think it should work (you may reduce the liquid by a tbsp or 2). Any milk will work just fine!

      I made this - subbing wheat flour for almond flour and I love it! I am currently 8.5 months pregnant so trying to find filling things that are appealing for breakfast and seasonal but not overly filled with sugar. This was perfect, did not even need the honey on top. In the mornings with my coffee - YUM. Thank you 🙂

        It’s not sweet at all. I think I would add some stevia next times. Very crumbly and the berries are very tart! Not a fan
