Ingredients

Servings

Cranberry Walnut Bread

  • 2/3 cup unsweetened applesauce
  • 1/3 cup orange juice
  • 1 cup dark brown sugar
  • 1 large egg
  • 1 ½ teaspoons pure vanilla extract
  • 1 tablespoon orange zest
  • 2 cups whole wheat pastry flour
  • 1 tablespoon baking powder
  • ¼ teaspoon kosher salt
  • 1 1/3 cup fresh cranberries chopped and tossed in 1 tablespoon whole wheat pastry flour
  • 2/3 cup walnuts

Streusel Topping

  • 2 tablespoons vanilla sugar
  • 4 tablespoons dark brown sugar
  • 1/3 cup all-purpose flour
  • 4 tablespoons unsalted butter melted
  • 1 ½ teaspoons orange zest

Instructions

  1. Preheat the oven to 375°F. Spray a loaf pan with nonstick cooking spray. (I used a 9" x 5" regular-sized pan and three mini pans.)
  2. Make the bread batter: In a large bowl, whisk the applesauce, orange juice and brown sugar together until smooth.
  3. Add the egg, vanilla and orange zest to the wet ingredients, whisking until incorporated.
  4. In a medium-sized bowl, combine the whole wheat pastry flour, baking powder and salt. Stir until combined.
  5. Slowly, measure the dry ingredients into the wet ingredients, whisking until just combined.
  6. Add the cranberries and walnuts to the batter, and fold until incorporated.
  7. Pour the bread batter into the prepared baking pans, and set aside.
  8. Make the streusel topping: In a bowl, combine the sugars, flour and orange zest. Stir until combined. Pour the butter on top, and stir until the mixture has come together.
  9. Sprinkle the streusel topping on top of the bread batter in the prepared pans evenly until distributed.
  10. Bake for 45 - 60 minutes, or until the streusel topping is golden brown and the bread has cooked through. (It took 45 minutes for my mini loaf pans to cook through and 60 for the regular-sized bread pan.)
  11. Cool on a cooling rack, then slice and enjoy slightly warm!
