Cranberry Orange Oatmeal Bread

Hi! My name is Leah Wilson and I’m currently a dietetic intern at Texas Woman’s University. I have one week left of internship rotations and will soon be able to take my RDN exam. I am also in the process of getting my master’s degree. In preparation of thinking about what recipe I would share with you, I knew I wanted to find a recipe that was fresh and different from what I usually bake. Like many, I enjoy baking fairly often during the holiday season.

However, also like many, I sometimes become overwhelmed when I’m looking for recipes or trying to figure out what to make. I opted for this tasty cranberry orange bread. The ingredient list was different than what I often go for. With fresh orange juice and fresh cranberries, this bread is bursting with flavor. The honey adds the perfect amount of sweetness. It’s refreshing, sweet, and a new favorite. Most of the ingredients were staples I already had in my pantry, so I didn’t have to purchase too many new items. Enjoy and Happy Holidays!
