The Skinny on Slow Cooker Cranberry Nut Bread

Different from your typical cranberry nut bread made with fresh cranberries, but just as delicious, I modified an easy cranberry nut bread recipe from one of my favorite old cookbooks, Sylvia’s Cakes and Breads: Famous Recipes from a Small Maine Kitchen (affiliate link) by Sylvia A. Hocking.

Homemade Whole Cranberry Sauce

In addition to baking this easy cranberry nut bread in the slow cooker, I substituted plain yogurt for the milk and used half white whole wheat flour.

It turned out moist and flavorful.

According to my calculations, each slice has 193 calories, *5 Weight Watchers PointsPlus, *10 WW Freestyle SmartPoints. Enjoy!

Slow Cooker Cranberry Nut Bread Recipe

This easy cranberry nut bread is a perfect way to use up leftover cranberry sauce and a breeze to make in the slow cooker.

Prep Time15 mins

Cook Time4 hrs

Total Time4 hrs 15 mins

Servings (adjustable): 12

Calories: 193

Author: Martha | Simple Nourished Living

Ingredients

• 1 cup all-purpose flour
• 1 cup white wheat flour
• 1 teaspoon baking soda
• 1/2 teaspoon salt
• 3/4 cup sugar
• 1 egg, slightly beaten
• 2/3 cup plain yogurt
• 1/4 cup melted butter
• 1 cup whole cranberry sauce
• 1/2 cup chopped walnuts

Instructions

• Ideal slow cooker size: 6-Quart, or larger.
• Grease a loaf pan that will fit in your slow cooker well. (I used an 8 x 4-inch loaf pan in my 6-Quart oval crockpot.)
• Create a trivet that will fit into the bottom of your slow cooker. You can make a coil from aluminum foil. Or use several of the metal rings from canning jars, which is what I do.)
• In a large bowl whisk together the flours, baking soda, salt, and sugar until well blended. Add the egg, yogurt, melted butter, cranberry sauce and chopped walnuts and stir just until blended.
• Scrape the batter into your loaf pan.
• Place the pan in your slow cooker.
• Cover and prop the lid open at one end with a wooden spoon handle or chopstick to let steam escape.
• Cook on HIGH for 3 to 4 hours or until a toothpick inserted in the center comes out clean.
• Carefully remove the loaf pan from your slow cooker and cool on a rack for 15 minutes and then remove the loaf from the pan and place it on the rack to cool completely.
• Cut into 12 slices.

Recipe Notes

I used a cup of homemade slow cooker raspberry apple cranberry sauce, but canned whole berry cranberry sauce will work too.
