Recipe Information
Ingredients
- 2 cups all-purpose flour
- 2 teaspoons baking powder
- 0.5 teaspoon salt
- 1 cup granulated sugar
- 2 large eggs
- 0.5 cup whole milk
- 0.25 cup vegetable oil
- 1 teaspoon vanilla extract
- 0.75 cup dried cranberries
- 0.5 cup sliced almonds
- 0.5 teaspoon almond extract
Instructions
Preheat your oven to 350°F (175°C) and lightly grease a 9x5-inch loaf pan or line it with parchment paper for easy removal.
In a large mixing bowl, whisk together the flour, baking powder, salt, and sugar until well combined.
In another medium bowl, beat the eggs. Add the milk, vegetable oil, vanilla extract, and almond extract, and whisk until the wet ingredients are fully blended.
Gradually pour the wet ingredients into the dry ingredients, stirring gently with a spatula or wooden spoon until just combined. Be careful not to overmix.
Fold in the dried cranberries and sliced almonds until evenly distributed throughout the batter.
Pour the batter into the prepared loaf pan, spreading it out evenly with a spatula.
Place the loaf pan in the preheated oven and bake for 45-50 minutes, or until a toothpick inserted into the center of the bread comes out clean.
Once baked, remove the pan from the oven and allow the bread to cool in the pan for about 10 minutes.
Carefully transfer the bread onto a wire rack to cool completely before slicing and serving.
Enjoy your Cranberry Almond Bread as is, or serve with butter or cream cheese for added indulgence!
