Cranberry Freckle Bread
It truly doesn’t get much better than this. A super easy soda bread garnished with dried cranberries, and we’re on our way to a terrific week.
Easy to make and a super healthy snack, with a fun name. What more could you ask for?
We Love Cranberries!
We actually have an entire post dedicated to all things cranberry. I highly recommend it. Plus there is our famous Cranberries, Sauced. You’ll want to read that one too.
A little more exciting than raisins, but not as sweet as apricots and pineapples, cranberries are by far our dried fruit of choice. Fresh and frozen cranberries are equally good too, and I’ll share some of my recipes that use fresh / frozen whole berries with you soon.

Cranberry Freckle Bread
- 3 3/4 cups flour
- 1/4 cup brown sugar
- 1 tbsp. baking powder
- 1 tsp. baking soda
- 1/2 tsp. salt
- 2 cups buttermilk
- 1 egg
- 1 cup dried cranberries
- Preheat oven to 375 F
- In large bowl mix flour, sugar, powder, salt, and soda.
- In separate bowl, mix milk with eggs.
- Stir the milk mixture into the flour mixture. The dough will be quite soft.
- Fold in cranberries.
- On lightly floured surface, turn dough out, and knead - but not too much. Eight times should do it.
- Shape into a round loaf, cut an 'X' on the top center, place on baking sheet lined with parchment paper, and bake 45 to 50 minutes.
- Make 2 cups of lemon juice by using two tbsp. lemon juice and add milk to equal 2 cups
