Nice recipe...I orginally found it in a cookbook from the National Honey Board but was pleased to see someone had posted it here also! I like this bread because I don't like my cranberry (or oat bread) to be sweet, so using honey is a nice alternative! I also use egg substitute in place of the whole eggs and I split the flour into half all-purpose flour and half whole wheat flour. THANKS for sharing!

This was good, but I would use more spices next time, and chop my berries, since the whole berries were a bit too tart. I will make it again, and fiddle with the spices. Thanks for posting!

Very Good! The honey gave it a wonderful flavor. I also used a full teaspoon of cinnamon and next time I make it I might add a few more spices. I chopped up my cranberries instead of using them whole and I liked the smaller pieces better.

I just devoured 2 slices of this bread. It is really really good. I used a combination of whole wheat pastry flour and regular whole wheat flour (I no longer keep white flour in the house), I used a full teaspoon of cinnamon, and I added 1/2 teaspoon almond extract (I'm in love with almost extract right now). The batter didn't even fill the loaf pans halfway, so I took it out of the oven after only 25 minutes, and it was perfectly done. Just a little flat (probably from the whole wheat flour). Thanks so much for posting this recipe.
