Tastes Better From Scratch

This easy Cranberry Orange Bread recipe is made with fresh cranberries and a sweet orange glaze. It's one of our family's favorite traditions to make each holiday season.

Ingredients

3 cups all-purpose flour

1 teaspoon salt

2 teaspoons baking powder

2 cups granulated sugar

orange zest (, from 2 large oranges)

1 1/2 cups buttermilk

1 cup oil ((vegetable or canola oil))

4 large eggs (slightly beaten)

2 Tablespoons orange juice (, fresh)

1 teaspoon vanilla extract

2 cups fresh cranberries (halved)

1 1/2 cups powdered sugar

2 Tablespoons orange juice (, fresh)

1 1/2 teaspoons orange zest

Method

Preheat oven to 350° F. Spray two 9x5 loaf pans with cooking spray and set aside.

In a large bowl add sugar and orange zest and stir well to combine. Add flour, salt, and baking powder and stir. Set aside.

In a separate medium bowl, combine the buttermilk, oil, eggs, orange juice, and vanilla.

Slowly add the wet ingredients to the dry ingredients, stirring just until combined. Fold in the halved cranberries. Pour batter into prepared pans.

For regular loaf pans, bake for 60-75 minutes, or until a toothpick inserted in the center comes out clean. For mini loaves, bake for 35-45 minutes. If your loaf starts to get too brown during cooking, place a piece of aluminum foil over the top to finish baking.

Remove from oven and set on a cooling rack for 10 minutes. Loosen the sides of the bread with a knife. Carefully remove loaf from pan. Let cool completely on wire rack.

While the bread is cooling, make the orange glaze. In a small bowl, combine powdered sugar, orange juice, and orange zest. Whisk until smooth. Drizzle the glaze over the bread. Cut and serve. Wrap bread well and store for 2-3 days at room temperature.
