This healthy cranberry orange bread is as beautiful to look at as it is delicious to eat. Studded with flecks of cranberry and infused with orange zest and juice, you’ll be hard pressed to find a breakfast or snack as flavorful and beautiful as this healthy bread. It’s slightly sweet from the orange and honey, a bit tart from the cranberries, and pleasantly spiced from a dash of cardamom. It smells and tastes like the holidays, and I hope you love it as much as I do.

In addition to being downright delicious, this bread is also packed with good-for-you ingredients like whole wheat flour, honey in place of refined sugar, greek yogurt, and antioxidant-rich cranberries and oranges. If you love this recipe, you'll also love my healthy earl grey muffins with lemon and honey. Check them out!

This recipe is sweetened only with honey or maple syrup.

Blitzing cranberries in the food processor ensures beautiful flecks of color and flavor throughout the bread.

Lots of fresh orange zest infuses the bread with citrusy flavor!

The batter is so beautiful, it's hard not to eat it on the spot!
