CRANBERRY PUMPKIN BREAD WITH CRYSTALLIZED GINGER



Cranberry Pumpkin Bread With Crystallized Ginger image

This is a great recipe for fall. I love the taste of the pumpkin and spice and the contrast of the tart cranberries. However, the crystalized ginger is what did it for me. I had it on hand for another recipe I use it for and decided to throw it in. This is my new go-to pumpkin bread.

Pumpkin 3-Ginger Bread image

This was inspired by Pumpkin Gingerbread to give credit where it's due. In an effort to make this a healthier snack, I use applesauce, egg whites, and whole wheat flour instead of oil, eggs, and regular flour. It's moist and delicious and hard to eat just one slice!

  • Bake the bread in a preheated oven. This will help to ensure that the bread cooks evenly.
  • Let the bread cool completely before slicing and serving. This will help to prevent the bread from crumbling.
