Pour the wet ingredients into the dry ingredients and add the cranberries. Gently fold with a spatula until just mixed.
Spoon the mixture into the prepared tin and bake for 35-40 min until golden brown and firm to the touch.

(*) Avoid honey until your baby is 12 months old.
NUTRIFACTS
Complex carbohydrates like those in wholemeal flour help maintain our energy levels stable as energy from these foods is released slowly.
B vitamins found in wholemeal flour are needed to produce energy from foods.
Pumpkin Seeds are high in fibre, protein and essential fats. They also contain good levels of iron, magnesium and phosphorus.
Eggs are rich in protein to help us grow and heal. Additionally, eggs contain vitamin A that supports vision and healthy skin as well as riboflavin that promotes normal growth and vitamin B12 that supports red blood cell health.
Sugar contains NO nutrients only calories in the form of refined carbohydrates, that’s why it is important to only have it occasionally.
In order to help balance your sugar levels when eating sweets, ensure they also contain fibre form fruits, vegetables, nuts, seeds or wholemeal flours and protein from eggs, nuts or seeds.
