🍞 Cream Cheese Cranberry Loaf
A tender, buttery quick bread with bursts of tart cranberry and a creamy twist — perfect for breakfast, dessert, or gifting with love.
This loaf is everything you want in a comforting bake: soft, rich, and subtly tangy from cream cheese, with bright pops of cranberry and optional pecan crunch. It’s easy to make, beautiful to slice, and even better with a cup of coffee or a drizzle of glaze.
