Cranberry Bread

Soft, sweet Cranberry Bread is a staple in our home. While we enjoy this bread year round, it is especially cherished around the holidays. This easy gluten free bread recipe features dried cranberries and sweet white chocolate chips. This is the perfect recipe to share or gift with your gluten free friends.

This is also a wonderful base recipe. You can easily switch things up and add nuts, different dried fruits and chocolate. No matter what add ins you prefer, this is the perfect soft, moist gluten free bread recipe! For more fun fall recipes, check out this list of 20+ Easy Fall Desserts!

Ingredients for Old Fashioned Cranberry Bread

  • Dry ingredients: Gluten free Bisquick (regular Bisquick is also fine), Old Fashioned Oats (I used gluten free), Brown sugar, Baking powder, Salt, Instant Vanilla pudding mix
  • Wet ingredients: Vanilla extract, Oil, Milk, Eggs
  • Add ins: dried Cranberries, White chocolate chips

How do you make Cranberry Bread?

This bread comes together in a flash. Here is how we make it! First, combine your Bisquick, oats, brown sugar, baking powder, salt and vanilla pudding mix in a large bowl and stir well. Next, add in your oil, milk and eggs and stir. 

Following this, fold in the cranberries and white chocolate chips and pour into a greased loaf pan. Bake at 350 degrees F for 60-70 minutes or until a toothpick comes out clean. 

Can I use a different flour in Cranberry Chocolate Chip Bread?

I have only tested this recipe with the ingredients listed, but here are some suggestions for substitutions. If you can’t find gluten free Bisquick, I have had success with King Arthur gluten free flour as well as Cup4Cup gluten free flour. If you are not gluten free, regular Bisquick should be fine.

Is there a substitute for oats in Chocolate Cranberry Bread?

Yes! If your diet restricts you from eating oats, you can always use unsweetened coconut flakes! I recommend putting the flakes into the food processor first to grind them down so their consistency is more similar to the oats.

How many loaves does this recipe make?

This recipe makes one loaf. You will need a 9 inch loaf pan and I recommend lining it with parchment paper for easy clean up. If your wish, you can definitely double this recipe and make two loafs. 

How to Store and Reheat Dried Cranberry Chocolate Chip Bread

To store this bread, keep in an airtight container on the kitchen counter for up to one week. To reheat, simply microwave in ten second increments until warm. If you are preparing this bread ahead of time, you can freeze it by layering it in two layers of plastic wrap and then placing in the freezer.

To reheat from frozen, allow the bread to come to room temperature overnight. Place in the oven (covered by aluminum foil) at 350 degrees for 15-20 minutes. Remove the foil and allow to cook for 5-10 for minutes.

    This would make a cranberry lover out of anybody! I love this quick bread, the combination of white chocolate and cranberries sounds delicious! These would make a great gift.

    I'm not the biggest fan of white chocolate normally, but I love it when it's paired with cranberries -- that tart sweet thing gets me every time! Fresh cranberries are one of my favorite things this time of year, so this bread sounds delicious!

    Ohhhhhhmg. This looks so moist and delicious and YUM! Perfect fall flavors! I bet this would be really great with those fresh cranberries in it, too. I am always scared to cook with fresh cranberries since they are so tart, but I really need to try it this year!
