Christmas Morning Cranberry Bread

I was looking forward to sharing this fab recipe from our sponsor Sarah at Body Balance 365. It is the perfect morning treat and who says that being dairy and gluten-free means you cannot still enjoy your favorite baked goods? This bread is full of healthy Vitamin C, E, and K from the cranberries, you should probably make two loaves. Merry Christmas Everyone!!! xo
