Cranberry Orange Bread Recipe

Last week I was cleaning out my freezer and came across a bag of frozen cranberries that needed to be used up. I decided to thaw them out for about an hour and use them in this cranberry bread recipe. Once it was done baking, I was pleasantly surprised at how moist this bread was and how delicious it tasted. Plus, you can make double and triple batches of this bread and freeze it for later use.

Cranberry Orange Bread Recipe

2 c. all-purpose flour
1 c. brown sugar
1 1/2 tsp. baking powder
1/2 tsp. baking soda
1 tsp. salt
4 Tbsp. butter, melted
1 large egg, lightly beaten
3/4 cup whole milk
12 oz. frozen cranberries. thawed
1/2 to 3/4 tsp. orange zest (grated orange rind)

Preheat oven to 350 degrees F. Lightly spray a loaf pan with non-stick cooking or baking spray.

In a large mixing bowl sift together the all-purpose flour, brown sugar, baking powder, baking soda and salt.

In another large mixing bowl beat together the melted butter, large egg and milk until creamy. Beat this wet mixture into your dry mixture until well combined. Fold in the thawed cranberries and orange zest.

Pour bread batter into your prepared loaf pan. Bake in a preheated 350 degree oven for 50 to 55 minutes or until done. Remove and let cool.
