WHY WE LOVE THIS RECIPE

First off, lots of pumpkin bread recipes call for 1 cup of pumpkin, but this one uses nearly 2 cups! Pumpkin is a great source of fiber, vitamins A and C, plus other great vitamins and minerals to Pumpkin is a great source of fiber, vitamins A and C, and antioxidants lutein and zeaxanthin, which help support eye health.

Secondly, eating cranberries fresh is the best way to benefit from their powerful antioxidants and vitamins, without the sugar that’s often added to dried cranberries. They add more vitamin C and fiber to the recipe, along with satisfying burst or tartness.

Buckwheat, a naturally gluten-free seed, is known for having a very strong and unique flavor—light buckwheat flour is not. It has a neutral flavor because the hulls are removed before it’s ground into flour. It’s still a great source of plant-based protein, fiber, and other vitamins and minerals, especially muscle-supportive magnesium. On its own, it can be a bit dry, but the texture is fantastic when blended with almond flour.
