Ingredients
- 1 cup flour
- 1 cup yellow cornmeal medium grind, or white cornmeal
- 1 Tbsp baking powder
- 1 tsp salt
- 1/2 tsp ground cinnamon or pumpkin pie spice
- 2 large egg
- 1 cup pumpkin puree
- 1/2 cup brown sugar packed
- 1/3 cup vegetable oil
- 2 Tbsp molasses
- 1/3 cup milk
- 1 cup cranberries fresh
Instructions
- Set the oven to 375F. Grease your 9x5 loaf pan and line with a sling of parchment paper if you want to lift the bread out for easy slicing.
- Whisk together the flour, cornmeal, baking powder, salt, and spice in a medium bowl.
- Whisk together the eggs, pumpkin, sugar, oil, molasses and milk in a larger bowl until well combined.
- Fold the dry ingredients into the wet, just until combined and there is no dry flour left. Fold in the cranberries.
- Turn into your prepared pan and spread out evenly. Bake for 35-40 minutes until a toothpick inserted in the center comes out clean.
- Cool for a few minutes in the pan, then remove to a rack. Serve warm, or at room temperature.

Notes
- Use any cornmeal grind; fine yields softer texture, medium gives moist bread with slight grain, coarse adds crunch and heartiness.
- Yellow cornmeal offers the classic corn flavor and deeper color; white cornmeal is milder and lighter in color.
