A gluten free recipe that isn't overly sweet and a good way to use up any leftover cranberry sauce that you have. It also freezes well. You can find the cranberry sauce recipe here 

You can make this as a loaf or you can make it into muffins. Just fill muffin cups 2/3 of the way instead of using a loaf pan.

1 Tbsp       Ground Flax, mixed with 3 Tbsp warm water (let sit for a few minutes). *Can also substitute egg.
1/2 cup      Milk or alternative *be sure to use an unsweetened alternative
1/4 cup      Canola oil
1 1/2 cup.   Cranberry sauce - see recipe here 
1 1/2 cup   Gluten free all purpose flour - see recipe here
2 tsp           Baking powder
1/2 tsp       Salt
1/2 tsp       Cinnamon


1. Preheat oven to 400F
2. Mix flax and water, let sit.
3. Mix flax, milk, oil and cranberry sauce.
4. Add flour, baking powder, cinnamon, and salt and stir until flour is moistened. It is important to not overmix. The
    batter will be lumpy, but that is okay.
5. Add to loaf pan.
6. Bake 20-25 minutes or until golden and a toothpick comes out clean.

*You can also use 1 cup of Gluten Free all purpose flour and 1/2 cup of gluten free oats.

This is a recipe that is my Mom's and makes me think of her and holidays. The kids are a great help when you go to make this. Get them scrubbing the orange and washing the cranberries as well as controlling the food processor (with help as needed). My kids decided they wanted to try fresh cranberries as they love every other type of berry. It was a great learning experience for them, but they didn't like them fresh! We talked about the other ways they do enjoy cranberries. This sauce is a good accompant to a meal. However, my favourite part about this recipe is actually using it in baking. See recipe here. This sauce is best when refrigerated overnight before use. 


1 bag     Cranberries, fresh
1              Mandarin orange, including peel but with seeds removed
3/4 cup  Sugar

1. Mix all ingredients in a food processor until combined.
