Cranberries were on sale at Aldi for ninety-nine cents so of course I had to grab a couple of bags (even though I still have a few in my freezer from the last time).
I did get around to using them this time in this delicious breakfast bread made with homemade oat flour and Greek yogurt (gotta get that fiber and protein!).
This yummy experiment is 100% going to be a go-to for a tangy breakfast, snack, or dessert and keep my freezer from getting overwhelmed with those on-sale cranberries.
