Ingredients
Scale
- 1 1/2 cups dried cranberries (Craisins)
- 1/4 cup Jack Daniel’s Whisky (optional)
Wet ingredients:
- 3/4 cup pumpkin puree
- 3/4 cup pumpkin butter (recipe here)
- 3/4 cup Leinenkugel Orange Shandy (or other orange shandy … or orange juice, if you don’t want to use beer)
- Zest and juice of 1 large orange
- 4 eggs
- 1/2 Tablespoon vanilla
- 1/3 cup oil
- 1/3 cup plain nonfat yogurt
- 1/4 cup real maple syrup
Dry ingredients:
- 1 cup sugar
- 2 cups whole wheat flour
- 1 1/4 cups all purpose flour
- 1/3 cup flaxmeal
- 1 1/2 teaspoons baking soda
- 1 1/2 teaspoons baking powder
- 1 1/2 teaspoons salt
- 1 1/2 teaspoons pumpkin pie spice
For the top: about 2 Tablespoons raw turbinado sugar & 1/2 cup toasted pecans
Instructions
- Preheat the oven to 350 F. Put the dried cranberries in a small bowl and pour the whiskey over them. Set them near your work area so you can stir them several times while you’re mixing up the batter to make sure all the craisins get a chance to take a nice whiskey “bath”.
- Now take a large mixing bowl and stir together all the wet ingredients.
- Add the dry ingredients and stir until fully mixed. Don’t over-stir. Fold the craisins (whiskey and all) into the batter.
- Divide the batter into the two bread pans and sprinkle the tops of the loaves with raw sugar and pecans. Bake at 350 for about 1 hour 10 minutes or until a wooden pick inserted in the center comes out clean.
