Vegan Cranberry Cornbread

December 30, 2022
Cranberries are only in season for a short time, so I always try to make the most of them while I can. The easiest way to use them is to add them into whatever baked good you are making. Cranberries work well with both sweet and savory recipes and baking them makes them burst and their flavors ooze out. I decided to add some to my cornbread to give it a winter flavor twist.

The most classic way cranberries are used is to make sauce. I actually did make some cranberry sauce separately to use as a spread on this bread and it tasted heavenly together. You could also slice this and toast it with some butter. I typically add orange zest to my cranberry sauce, so I added some to this cornbread as well. The final addition of fresh rosemary makes this bread completely representative of winter in New England. I used fresh cranberries but this would work with dried if that is what you have on hand.
