I love cranberry bread! It makes the holidays feel so festive for me. However, I have been having extra blood sugar issues this year so I created this delicious low carb cranberry bread recipe that tastes like the traditional but is much lower in carbohydrates so I can fully enjoy it!
This recipe has orange zest running through it and that really complements the chunks of cranberries that are spread throughout the bread. I like to use the ultra fine almond flour for a smooth crumb in this bread.
