Made these last night as muffins. I have a 10 year old diabetic child therefore I always try to make my baking a little healthier. I replaced 1 cup of the flour called for with whole wheat flour for added fibre, reduced the sugar by a quarter cup and doubled up on the cranberries. I got 19 muffins. My 10 year old loved them!
Thanks!

oops, forgot....I used craisins instead of fresh cranberries. they were delicious with the cinnamon & that divine, smooth texture of the bread!

loved, loved loved this bread!!! the texture is gorgeous & the cinnamon is just right and gives a sort of nice undertone that I didn't focus on until the aftertaste. don't like almonds so skipped the almond extract & doubled the vanilla. took 55 minutes to bake to the clean knife stage in my oven. thank you!

Thank you for what looks to be a lovely coffeecake. I'm thinking I'd like to try baking it in a 9-inch round cake pan. Hmmmm, Easter brunch, anyone?

You can also use fresh blueberries if you don't have cranberries on hand. Also, try adding some orange or lemon zest for an added twist! If you want, try making them into muffins and reduce baking time to 15-20 minutes. Enjoy!
