A festive cranberry bread that uses basic ingredients and delivers a fabulous texture and flavor plus “nutritional bang for your bite”. This oil-free, gluten-free, dairy-free, egg-free and refined sugar-free meal is an excellent recipe for plant-based eating styles and therapeutic diets. Fresh and dried cranberries, apple sauce, and maple syrup mixed with oat flour and orange zest make this recipe nutrient-dense. The coconut in this recipe not only helps balance the texture but also adds small amounts of healthy fats that make the fat-soluble nutrients like vitamin E present in both cranberries and apples bio-available for absorption which leads to a functional nutrition approach to truly using food as medicine. —Karina
