Healthy Cranberry Bread

I looked in our fridge and saw we had a bag of cranberries to eat. Usually, we use the entire bag to make just cranberry sauce. This time, I decided to try something different and used half of the bag to bake yummy bread instead. My recipe is somewhat based off Martha Stewart's Cranberry Bread* in her Everyday Food magazine, except mine is healthier.

Fresh cranberries folded into a delicious bread to create a scrumptious, breakfast pastry.

• 1/2 t baking soda
• 1 t salt
• 1 egg white
• 1/3 c skim milk
• 1/2 bag (6 oz) cranberries

Baking Instructions

1. Heat oven to 350° F. Spray mini loaf pans with cooking spray and set aside on a cookie sheet. In a large bowl, mix flour, brown sugar, baking powder, baking soda, and salt together.
