Cranberry Orange Bread
Cranberry Orange Bread blends tart cranberries and crunchy walnuts into a lightly sweetened orange-infused quick bread. The citrus zest and juice provide bright flavor and moisture, while the combination of leavening agents ensures a tender crumb. It's an ideal loaf to enjoy for breakfast or as a snack.
Ingredients
- 2 cups all-purpose flour
- ¾ cup cane sugar
- ¾ teaspoon salt
- 1 ½ teaspoon baking powder
- ½ teaspoon baking soda
- 1 cup cranberries sliced
- ½ cup walnuts roughly chopped
- 1 egg large
- 2 tablespoons coconut oil
- ¾ cup orange juice
- 1 tablespoon orange zest
Instructions
- Preheat oven to 350° F. Grease a loaf pan with coconut oil spray.
- In a medium bowl, combine the flour, sugar, salt, baking powder, and baking soda. Add the cranberries and walnuts, and stir to coat with flour mixture.
- In another large bowl, combine the egg, oil, orange juice, and orange zest. Pour the dry ingredients into the wet ingredients, and stir until everything is well-blended. Transfer the batter into the prepared pan
- Bake for 50-55 minutes in the preheated oven or until a toothpick inserted near the center comes out clean. Cool in pan for 10 minutes, then remove to a wire rack, and cool completely.
Notes
- Use a FoodSaver vacuum sealing system to preserve cranberries for easy future use.
- For gluten-free bread, use an all-purpose gluten-free flour mix, but avoid replacing only with almond or coconut flour.
- Substitute cane sugar with coconut sugar or other granulated sugars as preferred.
- Neutral oils or butter can replace coconut oil if desired.
