Recipe Information
Ingredients
- 2 cups all-purpose flour
- 1 teaspoon baking powder
- 0.5 teaspoon baking soda
- 0.5 teaspoon salt
- 1 cup granulated sugar
- 0.25 cup unsalted butter, melted
- 2 large eggs, beaten
- 0.75 cup orange juice
- 1 teaspoon vanilla extract
- 1 cup fresh or frozen cranberries, chopped
- 0.5 cup walnuts, chopped
Instructions
Preheat your oven to 350°F (175°C). Grease a 9x5-inch loaf pan and set aside.
In a large bowl, whisk together the flour, baking powder, baking soda, and salt.
In another bowl, combine the granulated sugar, melted butter, beaten eggs, orange juice, and vanilla extract until well mixed.
Gradually add the wet ingredients to the dry ingredients, stirring just until combined. Be careful not to overmix.
Gently fold in the chopped cranberries and walnuts until evenly distributed throughout the batter.
Pour the batter into the prepared loaf pan, smoothing the top with a spatula.
Bake in the preheated oven for 60 minutes, or until a toothpick inserted into the center of the loaf comes out clean.
Allow the bread to cool in the pan for about 10 minutes, then remove from the pan and transfer to a wire rack to cool completely before slicing and serving.
