Cranberry Bread with White Chocolate Drizzle – Moist delicious loaf studded with cranberries, topped with white chocolate glaze. Perfect bread for Christmas brunch or to give as gifts for the holidays.
Have you ever noticed how sneaky I am? Sneaky with chocolate that is. I try to sneak into every part of my day. Ok. So maybe that is a small problem. But I’ve yet to die from it so I’ll just keep going with what works. I see no problem with that. Do you? *wink*
It came upon a midnight clear that….I totally have been listening to Christmas music. Can you tell? Ahem! It came upon a midnight clear that Melanie dreamed of a delicious cranberry studded bread with oozy white chocolate drizzle. And after that she made her dream become reality.
Here it is in all it’s beauty. Ready to be enjoyed or wrapped beautifully and passed to neighbor or friend. Actually this is perfect for gifts. Hmm…how many loaves would I have to make to give one to every friend and neighbor? 1, 2, 3, 567…OK that’s a lot of loaves to make but I can start somewhere with someone!
How about you? Who comes to mind as someone that could use an extra dose of blessing today?
You’ll love this cranberry bread with white chocolate drizzle if you loved my lemon-blueberry yogurt loaf….
You’ll love this bread if you love cranberries…
You’ll love this bread if you can’t resist berries and chocolate….
You’ve got to try it!

Julia says
I tried baking cranberry quickbread using coconut flour and leftover cranberry sauce this morning at 5:30am, and it was a total epic fail. About halfway through, I realized the dang thing wasn’t going to work, so I began adding ALLTHETHINGS…one thing lead to another and I ended up with crappy tasting chocolate cranberry sauce ginger bread…but like super healthy crappy tasting bread. Anyhoo, I wish I had used your recipe to guide my way,but at least I know for next time 😉 Hope you had an excellent Thanksgiving!
Melanie says
That’s a bummer Julia! I hate recipe fails but usually they spur me on to greater things. 🙂
I hope you had a great holiday as well!
