Recipe Information
Ingredients
- 2 cups all-purpose flour
- 2 teaspoons baking powder
- 1 teaspoon baking soda
- 0.5 teaspoon salt
- 0.75 cup granulated sugar
- 0.5 cup unsalted butter, melted
- 0.75 cup milk
- 2 large eggs
- 1 teaspoon vanilla extract
- 1 cup dried cranberries
- 0.5 cup sunflower seeds
- 0.5 cup pumpkin seeds
Instructions
Preheat your oven to 350°F (175°C). Grease a 9x5 inch loaf pan or line it with parchment paper.
In a large bowl, whisk together the all-purpose flour, baking powder, baking soda, and salt.
In another bowl, mix the granulated sugar and melted butter until well combined. Add the milk, eggs, and vanilla extract, and beat until smooth.
Gradually add the wet ingredients to the dry ingredients, stirring gently until just combined and no streaks of flour remain. Do not overmix.
Fold in the dried cranberries, sunflower seeds, and pumpkin seeds until they are 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 50-55 minutes, or until a toothpick inserted into the center comes out clean.
Allow the bread to cool in the pan for about 10 minutes, then turn it out onto a wire rack to cool completely before slicing and serving.
