Recipe Information
Ingredients
- 2 cups All-purpose flour
- 1 cup Granulated sugar
- 2 teaspoons Baking powder
- 0.5 teaspoons Salt
- 0.5 cup Unsalted butter, melted
- 0.75 cup Milk
- 2 large Eggs
- 1.5 cups Fresh cranberries, roughly chopped
- 1 medium Fresh jalapenos, finely diced
- 1 tablespoon Orange zest
- 1 teaspoon Vanilla extract
Instructions
Preheat your oven to 350°F (175°C). Grease a 9x5-inch loaf pan and line the bottom with parchment paper for easy removal.
In a medium-sized bowl, whisk together the all-purpose flour, granulated sugar, baking powder, and salt. Set aside.
In a large bowl, whisk together the melted butter, milk, and eggs until well combined. Stir in the vanilla extract and orange zest.
Gradually fold the dry ingredients into the wet ingredients, mixing until just combined. Be careful not to overmix.
Gently fold in the chopped cranberries and diced jalapeno to evenly distribute them throughout the batter.
Pour the batter into the prepared loaf pan, spreading it out evenly.
Bake in the preheated oven for 55–60 minutes, or until a toothpick inserted into the center of the loaf comes out clean.
Remove the bread from the oven and allow it to cool in the pan for 10 minutes. Then transfer the loaf to a wire rack to cool completely.
Slice and serve warm or at room temperature. Enjoy the sweet, tangy, and spicy flavors of this unique bread!
