Thanksgiving is tomorrow and I am so excited. It’s my favorite day of the year because I get to spend time with my husband and son while I cook. I love all of the typical Thanksgiving posts that have been shared, but I wanted to do something a little different. I have been baking with my soon to be 3 year old more, and wanted to share another bakeable with a holiday vibe.
And here we are…
Gluten Free Low Sugar Cranberry Orange Bread
You guys know I’m about alternatives that work and again…
cup4cup came through with this quick bread. I used all 3 of Swerve’s sugar replacements and there is no difference in taste or texture.
My own husband couldn’t believe it (he’s a picky one!).
If you need a last minute noshable to bring to your Friendsgiving or Thanksgiving, try
this delightfully festive cranberry orange bread. This one is a crowd pleaser I promise you. It is gluten free and low in sugar (3g per slice), but can be easily veganized with an egg replacement of choice and plant based butter. This cranberry orange bread will still deliver for a variety of lifestyles and dietary approaches.
From my family to you, we want to wish you all a Happy Thanksgiving. We are thankful for every single one of you!
