Q&A
Q: Can I use dried cranberries?
Yes — use 1 cup, but reduce sugar by 2 tbsp since they’re sweeter.
Q: Can I make it dairy-free?
Yes — substitute butter with vegan butter or ⅓ cup oil.
Q: Can I add nuts?
Absolutely. Add ½ cup chopped pecans or walnuts.
Q: Why did my loaf come out dense?
Overmixing or too much flour packed into the measuring cup can cause this.
Q: Can I double the recipe?
Yes — it scales perfectly.
