Recipe Information
Ingredients
- 2 cups all-purpose flour
- 0.75 cup granulated sugar
- 2 teaspoons baking powder
- 0.5 teaspoon salt
- 0.75 cup buttermilk
- 0.33 cup unsalted butter, melted and cooled
- 1 piece large egg
- 1 teaspoon vanilla extract
- 1 cup fresh or frozen blueberries
- 1 cup fresh or frozen cranberries
- 1 teaspoon orange zest
Instructions
Preheat your oven to 350°F (175°C) and grease a 9x5-inch (23x13 cm) loaf pan or line it with parchment paper.
In a large mixing bowl, whisk together the all-purpose flour, granulated sugar, baking powder, and salt until evenly combined.
In a separate medium-sized bowl, whisk together the buttermilk, melted and cooled unsalted butter, egg, and vanilla extract until smooth.
Pour the wet ingredients into the bowl with the dry ingredients and stir gently until just combined. Be careful not to overmix; the batter should be slightly lumpy.
Fold the blueberries, cranberries, and orange zest into the batter using a spatula, distributing them evenly throughout.
Pour the batter into the prepared loaf pan and smooth out the top with the spatula.
Bake in the preheated oven for 50-60 minutes, or until a toothpick inserted into the center comes out clean.
Remove the bread from the oven and allow it to cool in the pan for 10 minutes.
Carefully transfer the bread to a wire rack to cool completely before slicing and serving.
Enjoy your homemade Blueberry Cranberry Bread with a cup of tea or coffee!
