Low-Fat Glazed Cranberry Mini Loaves image

These bake out very high with a nice point on top and are extremely moist with lots of flavor, no one would ever guess they are low fat! ---fresh or frozen blueberries may be used in place of cranberries but do not chop the blueberries--- I have yield at 20 (10 slices per loaf) this is of coarse only estimated it will depend on the size you slice the loaves --- you may omit the glaze if desired --- depending if you are using sweetened or unsweetened orange juice you may want to adjust the sugar amount, I used unsweetened orange with 1 cup sugar and found that to be the perfect sweetness.
