    Fold in the pumpkin seeds, sunflower seeds, dried cranberries, and mixed nuts. Pour the batter into the prepared tin and bake for 1 hour or until a skewer inserted comes out clean. If the bread becomes too dark, cover with tin foil. Remove from the tin and let it cool completely. Wrap the cooled loaf and refrigerate overnight.
