  • What is "Healthified"?

    We've replaced ingredients with great-tasting alternatives to create better-for-you recipes that are just as yummy as the originals.

  • Success

    Cranberries can get away from you and roll right off the cutting board if you try to chop too many at once. Chop just a small handful at a time for more control.

  • Do-Ahead

    This recipe makes two loaves—one for now and one to wrap tightly and store in the freezer for later.
