Cranberry Orange Cinnamon Bread

With Thanksgiving next week and Christmas in just little over a month I really wanted to create some recipes for treats and snacks I could have around the house for all my extended family coming in town. I really am not a fan of cooking when company is over so I like having things made before they get here! This cranberry orange cinnamon bread is great to serve for breakfast with coffee, or just to enjoy throughout the day! It even has a holiday feel with the warm cinnamon flavor and the red bursting cranberries throughout the bread. It has just the perfect amount of sweetness, and is even healthy for you! (It has less then 100 calories per slice!) I recreated this recipe from one of my favorite bloggers, Skinny Taste, and love how she uses light ingredients but doesn’t skimp on any flavor. I will for sure be making this bread all holiday season long!
