Recipe Information
Ingredients
- 2 cups All-purpose flour
- 1 cup Granulated sugar
- 1.5 teaspoons Baking powder
- 0.5 teaspoons Salt
- 1.5 cups Fresh or frozen cranberries
- 1 tablespoon Orange zest
- 1 large Egg
- 0.75 cup Milk
- 0.25 cup Unsalted butter, melted
- 1 teaspoon Vanilla extract
Instructions
Preheat the oven to 350°F (175°C) and grease a standard 9x5-inch 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 well combined.
Stir in the fresh or frozen cranberries and orange zest, ensuring the cranberries are evenly distributed in the dry mixture.
In a separate medium bowl, beat the egg lightly, then add milk, melted butter, and vanilla extract. Whisk until the wet ingredients are fully combined.
Pour the wet ingredients into the bowl with the dry ingredients. Gently fold together using a spatula until just combined. Do not overmix; the batter should be slightly lumpy.
Pour the batter into the prepared loaf pan, spreading it out evenly.
Bake in the preheated oven for 50-55 minutes, or until a toothpick inserted into the center comes out clean.
Remove from the oven and allow the bread to cool in the pan for 10 minutes. Then, transfer it to a wire rack to cool completely before slicing and serving.
Enjoy your Easy All Cranberry Bread as is, or with a spread of butter or cream cheese!
