Notes
Spice it up! Substitute 1/2 teaspoon allspice for 1/2 teaspoon cinnamon. We also use organic golden flax in our recipes to reduce the amount of oil in the recipe and provide a healthy boost of omega-3 ALA.

I made this and it was very good. It was snowing and I didn’t want to shop, so I used what I had on hand: almond coconut milk instead of milk, dried cranberries instead of whole ones, and whole wheat flour. I added a small splash of extra milk because of the dried berries. I didn’t have enough white sugar so I used some brown sugar. I wasn’t sure about using a whole cup of ground flax, but it was great. I actually made 12 regular muffins, 12 mini muffins, and a small 5×9 glass pan. The hard part is using restraint when it comes to eating them! I love having all these wonderful recipes with so many variations. Thanks for a very useful site!
I love making the friendship bread. I make it and keep it all, and give some away. Thank You for giving it to me.
