Not Too Sweet – Pumpkin Cranberry Walnut Bread Sweet Bread
There’s always an abundant supply of pie pumpkins at our house this time of year. Pumpkin Pie, Pumpkin Cookies and since I am not a big sweet fan my favorite Pumpkin Cranberry Walnut Bread. This recipe is not overly sweet and has half the sugar as regular sweet bread. A perfect pair to a cup of tea or coffee on a cool fall evening.
- 1/2 cup sugar
- 1/2 cup raw honey
- 1/2 cup oil
- 2 eggs
- 1/2 teaspoon nutmeg
- 1/2 teaspoon cinnamon
- 3/4 teaspoon of salt
- 1 cup pumpkin, cooked and mashed
- 1/2 teaspoon baking soda
- 1/4 teaspoon baking powder
- 1 1/2 cups flour + 1 tablespoon
- 1/2 chopped walnuts
- 1/3 cup dried cranberries
- Preheat oven to 350 degrees.
- Grease and flour one loaf pan.
- Combine sugar, honey, oil, eggs, nutmeg, cinnamon, and salt.

- Add pumpkin, 1 1/2 cups flour, baking soda, and baking powder.
- Mix well.
- In separate bowl combine 1 tablespoon flour, chopped walnuts and dried cranberries until coated.

I often make a craberry orange bread, but I haven’t mixed cranberries into my pumpkin bread. That could be really yummy!
This look so delicious! What a yummy combination of sweet & slightly tart, and perfectly paired with a hot cup of coffee! Mmmmmm!!!!!! 🌻😊

I like the sound of this so off to pin for future reference. It sounds like a good treat for the boys after they have had sports training although they are not keen on walnuts so I may just add extra dried fruit #WasteLessWednesday
