Cranberry Pumpkin Bread (2024)

Cranberries add a delicious twist to this traditional Pumpkin Bread recipe. It’s moist, flavorful and easy to make with 15 minutes of prep time. It’s perfect for breakfast or brunch in the fall and winter months! Not a fan of cranberries? No problem, swap them with chocolate chips!

Well hello there! Welcome to Pumpkin Weekon WhitneyBond.com!

That’s right, I made up my own week to celebrate the almighty orange squash that we’ve all come to know and love as the official flavor of fall.

I started pumpkin week on Monday by updating one of my all time favorite fall recipes, Pumpkin Chili, with snazzy new pictures!

Yes, that was the original recipe image I posted when I first started blogging back in 2011 in the upper left hand corner.

I updated therecipe in 2012 to the image in the bottom left hand corner. I then updated therecipe again this week withthe bright and shiny new image on the right.

I love sharing collages likethese because I often get asked about my food photography and how I learned to take great pictures of food. While I read a few articles online and an e-book on food photography, it really waspractice that made the biggest difference.

I’ve now photographed over 700 recipes, some of them 2 or 3 times. I’ve taken thousands of pictures of food, both at home and in restaurants, and spent countless hoursin camera settings and editing programs to get my food photography where it is today.

Now back to the Pumpkin Week fun!

For the first new recipe of the week, I gavetraditionalpumpkin bread a Bond girl twist by addingcranberries.

These sweet and tart little berries were the perfect addition to an already moist and flavorful pumpkin bread recipe!

Cranberry Pumpkin Bread Ingredients

• 1 cup granulated sugar
• ½ cup brown sugar
• 2 cups flour
• 2 tsp baking soda
• 1 tsp salt
• 1 tsp ground ginger
• 1 tsp ground nutmeg
• 1 tsp ground cinnamon
• 1 tsp ground cloves
• 1 tsp allspice
• 2 large eggs (whisked)
• 1 cup whole milk
• 6 tbsp unsalted butter (melted)
• 1 can (15 oz)pumpkin puree
• 1 cup dried cranberries

Cranberry Pumpkin Bread Instructions

Preheat the oven to 350° F.

In a large bowl, combine the granulated sugar, brown sugar, flour, baking soda, salt, ginger, nutmeg, cinnamon, ground cloves and allspice together.

In another large bowl, combine the whisked eggs, milk, melted butter and pumpkin puree.

Add the dry ingredients and mix well.

Hand mix in the dried cranberries.

Pour the batter into two greased 9×5 loaf pans.

Place in the oven and bake for 50-60 minutes.

At this point, your entire house will smell totally amazing, and your biggest challenge will be not eating an entire loaf, warm and fresh out of the oven! 😉

I kept one loaf for myself.I didn’t eat it all at once, but I promise I wanted to!

The other loaf got sliced up and shared with friends. I love baking for friends in the fall, it reminds me of growing up in Oklahoma when my Mom and I would bake cookies,cupcakes and pies, then take them to school for my teachers and classmates.

I guess you could say I inherited my “baking and sharing” quality from my Mom!
