Helpful hints
- Nuts are high in potassium and phosphorus but may be included in small amounts. The 1/4 cup walnuts in this recipe provides 15 mg potassium and 9 mg phosphorus per slice.
- To reduce carbohydrate and calories substitute 1/2 cup Splenda© sugar blend for baking for the 1 cup of sugar. Carbohydrate is reduced to 25 grams and calories are reduced to 160.
- Make an extra loaf and freeze for later.

Where are the nuts in this Cranberry Nut Bread? Moderator comment: Good catch! Actually the recipe was incorrectly linked to the Cranberry Muffin recipe. Everything is back to normal now.
