Lightly grease bottom of a loaf pan or three mini-loaf pans. (No oil is
needed for nonstick pans.) Chop cranberries, using a knife or food
processor. Beat well all ingredients up to and including wheat germ. Add
flour, baking powder, and baking soda into wet mixture and mix briefly.
Stir in cranberries and pour evenly into loaf pan(s). Sprinkle sliced
