Nourish: Cranberry flax pumpkin bread

Tracy De Leon, MDS, RD, LD, showed us how to make this delicious cranberry flax pumpkin bread from our Nourish Series. Pumpkin is full of beta-carotene, cranberries have a high potency of anthocyanin phytochemicals and flaxseeds posses protective omega-3 fats. Here's what you'll need:

• Canola oil spray
• 1/2 cup whole-wheat pastry flour
• 1/2 cup unbleached all-purpose flour
• 1/2 cup ground flaxseed
• 2/3 cup packed light brown sugar
• 1 tsp. baking soda
• 1/2 tsp. salt
• 2 large eggs
• 1 cup canned pumpkin
• 1/4 cup canola oil
• 1/2 cup unsweetened applesauce
• 1/4 cup 100 percent apple juice
• 1/2 tsp. ground cinnamon
• 1/2 tsp. ground ginger
• 1/4 tsp. ground nutmeg
• 1 cup dried cranberries
