Walnut Cranberry Raisin Pull Apart Bread
Looking for a sweet dessert to bring to Thanksgiving, Christmas, potluck or any gathering?
Look no further, Walnut Cranberry Raisin Pull Apart Bread will satisfy everyone, including those who are dairy sensitive because it includes options to make this recipe dairy-free.
It uses coconut oil instead of butter to make it a dairy-free dessert (or even breakfast!).
It has an option for white chocolate morsels if dairy is not a problem.
I know that the degree to which someone is sensitive to dairy can really vary from person to person.
If you do include the white chocolate, it goes really well with the cranberries, raisins and walnuts.
All the Fall and holiday flavors are in full swing with this Walnut Cranberry Raisin Pull Apart Bread!
About LACTAID® supplements & PEPCID®
My husband Eric is lactose-intolerant and years ago, I used to have a sensitivity to dairy as well.
I still get "travelers stomach" sometimes and around the holidays, when we are traveling to relatives homes for dinners, I think it is a wise decision to have a "travelers stomach survival kit" on hand that includes LACTAID® supplements & PEPCID®.
With LACTAID® supplements & PEPCID®, you don't have to say "no" to all those holiday goodies!
I recently stocked up on my last trip to Walmart.
You can combat potential tummy trouble this Thanksgiving and beyond with LACTAID® supplements & PEPCID® 🙂

Web Story
Vanilla Coconut Icing or Coconut Caramel Sauce are great non-dairy topping options for topping this Walnut Cranberry Raisin Pull-Apart Bread.
If you can have dairy, my recipes for Easy Caramel (Dulce de Leche) or Homemade Chocolate Shell warmed up would be yummy with this too!
