Ingredients
BREAD
- 3 cups all-purpose flour
- ¾ cup granulated sugar
- 1 tablespoon baking powder
- 1 teaspoon salt
- 1 teaspoon baking soda
- 2 cups buttermilk
- 1 egg lightly beaten
- ¼ cup melted butter
- 1 ½ cups fresh cranberries
- ½ cup chopped walnuts
Crumble Topping (optional)
- ⅓ cup all-purpose flour
- ¼ cup light brown sugar packed
- ¼ cup rolled oats
- 2 tablespoons unsalted butter cold, cubed
- ⅛ teaspoon salt
- ⅛ teaspoon cinnamon
Instructions
- Preheat oven to 350°F.
- Combine the dry ingredients and mix well.
- Add the milk and egg to the dry mixture. Stir until everything is just moist and add the butter. Stir until combined, but do not over-mix. Fold in the cranberries and nuts.
- For crumble topping, combine all the ingredients. Work the mixture with your hands, squeezing and stirring until it’s all moist and crumbly.
- Grease two 8x4 loaf pans. Pour batter evenly between two pans. Sprinkle the crumble topping on each loaf.
- Bake for 35-45 minutes or until a toothpick inserted comes out clean.
- Cool in the pan 10 minutes. Remove and cool on a rack. Cut each loaf into 8 slices.

Notes
- Do not overmix the batter. Overmixing will eliminate the air pockets that quick bread needs in order to rise properly.
- For extra crunchy nuts with a more intense flavor, toast them in a small pan until fragrant and cool before adding.
- Check the bread early to ensure it doesn't overcook.
- Check for doneness by inserting a toothpick in the center of the loaf. If it comes out clean the bread is done.
- Cool in the pan for 10 minutes. Remove and place on a cooling rack to cool completely.
