Low-Sugar Cranberry Orange Date Bread – (modification to my mother’s recipe) is updated to reduce the sugar and add some punch with the finely diced dates as the sweetener. The fresh cranberries add real flavour along with the fresh squeezed orange juice. I threw some extra cranberries and nuts on top to add some extra looks.. Chop some cranberries in half and throw them down for the photo. Enjoy.
I used Betty Crocker's Chocolate Chip Cookie Mix for the crust and looking for ways to reduce calories in the filling. I used monk fruit (or stevia if monk fruit is not available) and also reduced the fat by incorporating yoghurt and low-fat cream cheese.
These brownies are made using Betty Crocker's Gluten-Free Brownie mix, I added Ocean Spray Reduced Sugar Craisins for an added flavour dimension and cranberry white chocolate bark for decoration.

You must have a mature Sourdough starter for this recipe. This will take 7+ days depending on your temperature and humidity. Why Sourdough? It is naturally leavened, in other words, no added yeast. This type of bread has ancient roots. Today people like it because it tends to be more digestible and often uses more ancient grains not genetically modified. This leads to a tasty more healthy bread. But it is challenging so be patient. It takes time to get the starter ready and the leavening times are longer than regular yeast breads.
