Pumpkin Bread with Cranberries
(Makes 8 servings)
- Nonstick cooking spray
- 3/4 cup all-purpose flour
- 3/4 cup whole-wheat pastry flour or whole-wheat flour
- 1 teaspoon baking soda
- 1 teaspoon ground cinnamon
- 1/2 teaspoon baking powder
- 1/2 teaspoon ground nutmeg
- 1/4 teaspoon ground allspice
- 1/4 teaspoon salt
- 1 cup canned pumpkin puree
- 2/3 cup honey
- 1/3 cup canola oil
- 2 large eggs
- 1 large egg white
- 1 cup fresh whole cranberries
Preheat the oven to 350°F. Spray a 9×5-inch loaf pan with cooking spray.
In a large bowl, whisk together the flours, baking soda, cinnamon, baking powder, nutmeg, allspice, and salt. In another large bowl, whisk together the pumpkin, honey, oil, eggs, and egg white until well combined. Stir the dry ingredients into the wet ingredients, mixing just enough to combine evenly. Gently stir in the cranberries.
Pour the batter into the prepared pan. Bake until the top is browned and a wooden skewer inserted into the center comes out clean, 50 to 60 minutes. Allow to cool in the pan for 15 minutes, then transfer the bread to a wire rack to cool completely before slicing.

My favorite smlels are cinnimon and cloves. I like to put some whole cloves and cinnimon sticks in a small pot on the stove with some water and boil. The pleasant aroma wafts through the house and it is 100% natural- no artificial chemicals needed. My favorite to bake with is peppermint. Anything with peppermint and if you combine it with chocolate so much the better. Peppermint bark is my favorite to make at Christmas time. Melt a layer of milk chocolate and let harden, melt a layer of white chocolate, mix in peppermint flavor oil and crushed peppermint candy into it and spread over chocolate layer. That’s it. You can also use the candy disks that craft stores sell. There is a white chocolate that already comes with peppermint in it. If you aren’t wanting to make it, Costco sells a big tin in the bakery area.
