Ingredients
  

  • 2.0 cups all-purpose flour
  • 1.0 cups sugar
  • 1.0 tablespoon baking powder
  • 0.5 teaspoon salt
  • 1.0 teaspoon ground cinnamon
  • 1.0 teaspoon orange zest
  • 0.5 cups unsalted butter, melted
  • 1.0 large egg
  • 0.75 cups milk
  • 1.0 cups fresh or frozen cranberries
  • 0.5 cups chopped walnuts
  • 1.0 teaspoon vanilla extract
  • 1.0 tablespoon orange juice

Instructions
 

  • Preheat the Oven: Preheat your oven to 350°F (175°C). Grease a 9x5 inch loaf pan with butter or cooking spray, and set it aside.
  • Mix Dry Ingredients: In a large bowl, whisk together the flour, sugar, baking powder, salt, cinnamon, and orange zest until well combined.
  • Combine Wet Ingredients: In another bowl, mix the melted butter, egg, milk, orange juice, and vanilla extract until smooth and blended.
  • Combine Mixtures: Pour the wet mixture into the dry ingredients, and gently fold until just combined. Be careful not to overmix; a few lumps are okay.
  • Add Cranberries and Nuts: Fold in the cranberries and walnuts (if using) until evenly distributed throughout the batter.
  • Transfer to Loaf Pan: Pour the batter into the prepared loaf pan. Smooth the top with a spatula, and add a few extra cranberries on top for decoration if desired.
  • Bake: Bake in the preheated oven for 60-70 minutes, or until a toothpick inserted into the center comes out clean. If the top is browning too quickly, you can tent it with aluminum foil halfway through the baking time.
  • Cool: Once baked, remove the bread from the oven and let it cool in the pan for about 10 minutes. Then, transfer it to a wire rack to cool completely before slicing.
  • Serve: Slice the bread and serve warm or at room temperature.
