  • 1 cup cranberries (fresh or frozen)
  • 1 orange (zested and juiced)

  1. Preheat your oven to 350°F (175°C) and grease a 9×5 inch loaf pan.
  2. In a large bowl, mix together the flour, sugar, baking powder, and salt.
  3. In another bowl, whisk together the zest and juice of the orange, orange juice, vegetable oil, eggs, and vanilla extract.
  4. Combine the wet and dry ingredients, being careful not to overmix. Fold in the cranberries.
  5. Pour the batter into the prepared loaf pan and smooth the top.

Notes

For extra crunch, consider adding nuts to the batter. Store properly in an airtight container to keep fresh.
