Ingredients
Scale
- 2 cups all-purpose flour
- 1 tbsp baking powder
- 1 cup granulated sugar
- 1 cup fresh cranberries (whole)
- Zest of 1 orange
- 2 large eggs
- 1/2 cup unsalted butter (melted)
- 1 cup whole milk
Instructions
- Preheat the Oven: Preheat your oven to 350°F (175°C). Grease a loaf pan lightly with butter or non-stick spray.
- Mix Dry Ingredients: In a large mixing bowl, whisk together the flour, baking powder, granulated sugar, and orange zest until evenly combined.
- Combine Wet Ingredients: In another bowl, whisk together the melted butter, eggs, and milk until smooth.
- Combine Everything: Pour the wet mixture into the dry ingredients bowl. Gently fold in the fresh cranberries using a spatula until just combined. Avoid over-mixing to keep the bread tender.
- Bake: Transfer the batter into your prepared loaf pan and bake for about 60 minutes or until golden brown and a toothpick inserted in the center comes out clean.
- Cool & Serve: Remove from the oven and let cool in the pan for about ten minutes before transferring it onto a wire rack. Slice once slightly cooled—serve plain or with butter!
