Ingredients

Scale

1 cup dried cranberries
1/4 cup Winter Jack apple whiskey liqueur

Wet ingredients:

2 eggs
1/3 cup oil (olive, coconut, or canola)
3/4 cup plain yogurt
1/3 cup buttermilk
3/4 – 1 cup Turbinado (raw) sugar (or brown sugar, firmly packed)
2 teaspoons pure vanilla extract
2 1/2 cups finely grated zucchini

Dry ingredients:

2 cups whole wheat flour
1 cup all purpose flour
2 teaspoons ground cinnamon
1 teaspoon ground ginger
1 teaspoon baking powder
1 teaspoon baking soda
3/4 teaspoon salt
1/2 teaspoon nutmeg
1 chai tea bag, cut open
1/2 cup coarsely chopped walnuts, toasted

For the top: 2 Tablespoons Turbinado (raw) sugar and extra walnuts

Instructions

Preheat the oven to 350 F. Spray two loaf pans with cooking spray.
In a small bowl, toss together the dried cranberries with the apple liqueur. Let the cranberries bathe in the liqueur, tossing occasionally to give them all a chance in the “bath”.
In a large mixing bowl, stir together all the wet ingredients until well mixed. Sprinkle the dry ingredients over top and stir to mix them in well. This mixture should form a nice batter. Fold in the cranberries with any liqueur left in the bowl.
Divide the batter amongst the two loaf pans. Sprinkle the top of the loaves with some extra chopped walnuts and a bit of coarse raw (turbinado) sugar. Bake at 350 F. for at least 50 minutes or longer, until a wooden pick or knife inserted in the center comes out clean.
Remove from the oven and release the loaves from their baking pans, setting on a rack to cool. Slice and enjoy!
