Recipe Information
Ingredients
- 2 cups All-purpose flour
- 0.75 cup Granulated sugar
- 2 teaspoons Baking powder
- 0.5 teaspoon Salt
- 1 teaspoon Ground cinnamon
- 0.75 cup Milk
- 0.25 cup Vegetable oil
- 1 large Egg
- 0.5 cup Dried cranberries
- 0.5 cup Raisins
- 0.5 cup Chopped walnuts or pecans
- 1 teaspoon Vanilla extract
Instructions
Preheat your oven to 350°F (175°C). Grease and lightly flour a 9x5-inch loaf pan, or line it with parchment paper for easy removal.
In a large mixing bowl, combine the all-purpose flour, granulated sugar, baking powder, salt, and ground cinnamon. Mix well to evenly distribute the dry ingredients.
In a separate medium-sized bowl, whisk together the milk, vegetable oil, egg, and vanilla extract until well combined.
Slowly pour the wet ingredients into the dry ingredients, stirring just until combined. Do not overmix.
Fold in the dried cranberries, raisins, and chopped nuts until evenly distributed throughout the batter.
Pour the batter into the prepared loaf pan and spread it evenly with a spatula.
Bake in the preheated oven for 50-55 minutes, or until a toothpick inserted into the center of the loaf comes out clean.
Remove the bread from the oven and let it cool in the pan for 10 minutes. Then transfer it to a wire rack to cool completely before slicing.
Serve slices of Cranberry Raisin Nut Bread warm or at room temperature. Enjoy as is or with a spread of butter or cream cheese.
