Cranberry Oat Bread

It’s a winter wonderland here in Oklahoma right now!

Snow about 4-6 inches thick blankets the ground. The temperature is hovering in the 20’s with overcast skies. This is my favorite type of weather—and favorite time of year.

I’m sure we’ll thaw out here pretty soon. Snow doesn’t ever stick around for long in this state.

This weather just ASKS for people to bake. Heating up something sweet in the oven warms up the house and warms up your heart. I did a lot of baking a few weeks ago, and wish I had enough ingredients to make this bread again.

This cranberry bread was pretty good, but a little on the dry side. I’m almost certain it was something I did (remember, I’m not the best baker). Other than the slight dry texture, this bread was pretty good. It’s got a lot of the cranberry flavor and it’s always a joy biting into a sweet-and-tart cranberry.

Enjoy!
