Crockpot Pumpkin Cranberry Bread

Trimming the Table: The holiday baking season is upon us. Time to pull out all the stops. Show us the healthy dessert you will be sharing with family and friends this season.

I don’t know that bread necessarily counts as a dessert to you, but it is in my book, especially when served with ice cream! (You can make your own vegan ice creamĀ to pair with this recipe!)

The best part is that it’s one of those “throw ingredients together and forget about it” recipes, because you can make this in your slow cooker!

This Pumpkin Cranberry Bread can be made in your #crockpot! #TheRecipeReDux #recipes

I’m on inpatientĀ service right now, which basically means I’m working 6 days a week for at least 12 hours a day. My one day off is usually spent sleeping, cleaning my apartment, catching up on errands, and meal prepping for the following week. (Oh, the joys of adulting…)

As such, uncomplicated recipes are my favorite thing ever right now. If you’re swamped with a billion things you need to do before Thanksgiving, consider making this for a healthified dessert! It’s super moist and delicious, so I’ve actually been having it for breakfast (yay for dessert for breakfast?!)! :P

You'll Need...

  • 2 eggs
  • 3/4 cup canned pumpkin
  • 2 tbsp coconut sugar
  • 2-3 tbsp honey
  • 1 1/3 cups whole wheat flour
  • 1/2 tsp ground ginger
  • 1/2 tsp ground cloves
  • 1/2 tsp ground cinnamon
  • 1/2 tsp ground nutmeg
  • 1 tsp baking powder
  • sprinkle of sea salt
  • 1/4 cup dried cranberries
  • 1/4 cup chopped pecans, toasted*

Directions

  1. Lightly coat 4-quart crockpot with cooking spray.
  2. Combine eggs, pumpkin, sugar, + honey in a bowl. In a separate bowl, stir together the dry ingredients. Fold in the cranberries.
  3. Spoon batter into crockpot and top with remaining cranberries + pecans.
  4. Cover and cook on high for 2-2.5 hours or until it passes the toothpick test.
  5. Cool on a wire rack and use a wide spatula to lift it from the crockpot.
  6. Cut into slices and serve!

Additional Notes

*To toast the nuts, preheat oven to 350 and spread nuts on shallow baking pan. Bake for 5-10 minutes or until lightly browned, shaking 1-2 times to prevent them from burning. You can also toast them in a skillet over medium heat for ~2 minutes or until lightly browned. Stir frequently to avoid burning.

  1. Ooh I’ve never baked in my crockpot before. That’s genius! I’m going to have to try this. Looks so yummy and has all those wonderful spices — bet it smelled delicious while cooking. Dessert for breakfast FTW!

    1. Hope you like it! :D I decreased the sweetener content by a lot since I was going to be eating it with ice cream, so if you like something sweeter, feel free to add a bit more honey or maple syrup in there! :P

  2. How fantastic that you can make this in your crockpot! I am most definitely in favour of anything that makes life easier and this would make such a great snack or dessert.

    1. Agreed! It’s been an awesome breakfast/snack for my more time-pressed days! :]

  3. Love the idea of making delicious fall bread in a crockpot. I need to try that out! :) Right now, I only make soups in the crockpot!

    1. I hope you like it! I’m going to be making a soup this weekend in my crockpot! :D

  4. Great idea… I need to get some of those slow cooker liners so that I will feel like I can make more things, and then I’m pinning and adding this!

    1. Yay! I hope you like it! :D

  5. Yea!!!! Slow cooker bread! That’s how it’s done ;)
    And sweet breads are breakfast/snack/brunch/dessert! They can be anything you want!

    1. Agreed! ;P

      I’m sorry that I wasn’t free today! Twas a rather frustrating day at the hospital. :[ :[ I hope you have an awesome Thanksgiving!!

  6. Love the simple ingredients and you know I love my cranberries. I might have to break the small crockpot out to make this for the weekend.

    1. Yay! I hope you like it! :D Crockpots are magical!

  7. Great minds think alike! (At least, when it comes to cranberries ;) ) I’ve never used a crock pot, much less used one for baking. That’s very clever! I totally think bread counts as a fun dessert, especially with ice cream :)

    Best of luck with inpatient, Farrah!

  9. I cannot wait to start BAKING and COOKING this week! BRING IT Thanksgiving – BRING IT!

    1. Post pictures! I’ll be living vicariously through you! <3

  10. Does this work as gluten free too? I love adapting yummy recipes but wonder if you’ve tried any substitutions?

    1. I haven’t tried a gluten-free version yet but it probably would work with gluten-free flour! Let me know if you try it out! :]

  11. Yum! What a perfect fall dessert! I always think of cranberries and apple together – but pumpkin and cranberries sounds even more delicious ;)

    My favourite healthier dessert has to be anything involving chocolate ;)

    1. Cranberries and apples sound delicious too! I was out of apples and happened to have some canned pumpkin left over, so I figured…waste not! :P

  12. Oh I love my crockpot! I have never made bread in it tho. Will have to give this a try, I love cranberries and ice cream goes with everything!
    Autumn @AutumnPTW.com recently posted…No Bake Pumpkin Graham Ice Box CakeMy Profile

    1. Agreed! :D!! I need to make some soup in my crockpot this weekend! :]

  13. My mom is obsessed with using the crockpot! I don’t even understand how to turn it on…goes to show you how domestic I am..

    1. hahaha, it happens! I didn’t get one until med school but it has been a glorious $20 investment! :D It helps me out a lot for bulk cooking/meal prepping on weekends!

  14. Looks good. I don’t think to use the crock pot for baking. I should try it and use the liners I bought and always forget to use.

    1. Hope you like it if you get a chance to try it out! I didn’t have crockpot liners so I just used aluminum foil, hehehe. :D

  15. Oh the joys of inpatient service! I hope you’re able to get a little time to enjoy the holiday. This looks like such a delicious treat :)

  16. Ooh, pumpkin bread makes a lovely dessert (especially with ice cream– YUM). This sounds wonderful– love the dried cranberries, and really love that it’s made in a crockpot!
