I love quick breads. I try to make them a few times a week because bread is one of the few things my toddler will eat. We usually have a piece for breakfast, so I can stretch the bread out for a few days. I'm not sure this bread will make it to tomorrow though. I've been really successful with baking this week, it seems like everything I make has been a huge success. Ok, now I'm being cocky. What were we talking about again?? haha
Anyway, I saw this recipe on The Frugal Girl blog. When I went grocery shopping the other day I bought a bag of cranberries, specifically for this recipe, and now I know the rest of the bag will go towards a few more loaves. What I love the most about this bread is that it doesn't require very many ingredients. Even the ingredients it does call for are very small amounts. Usually when I bake I have to use 1 stick of butter, 45 cups of sugar, 60 cups of flour --- Ok, not that many, but you get my point. This is a very frugal recipe, which makes sense. :)

| Chop the cranberries and juice the orange --- or use orange juice. |
 |
| Mix in the cranberries and walnuts. |
 |
| Pour into the bread pan. |
 |
| Yum Yum Yum! |
Serving Size = 1 loaf
(I made zero changes)
- 2 cups all-purpose flour
- 1 cup sugar
- 1 1/2 teaspoons baking powder
- 1/2 teaspoon baking soda
- 1/2 teaspoon salt
- 1 egg
- 2 tablespoons hot water
- 1/2 cup of orange juice
- 2 tablespoons melted butter
- 1 cup cranberries, chopped or cut in half
- 1/2 cup nuts, optional (I used walnuts)
- Preheat oven to 350F (325F if using a glass pan).
- Mix together the dry ingredients (not the cranberries or walnuts). In a separate bowl, mix together the wet ingredients (egg, butter, water and orange juice).
- Add the wet ingredients to the dry ingredients and mix until just combined (I used my stand mixer on a very low speed and added the dry to the wet). Fold in the nuts and cranberries.
- Pour into a greased 9x5 or 4x6 inch pan (I used 9x5). Bake for 45-55 minutes, or until a toothpick inserted into the center comes out clean.

I love cranberry and orange together! This looks delicious and lovely!
I love it when I have lots of successes in the kitchen, but my family seems to enjoy the failures just as much. :)
Delicious way to use fresh cranberries. This looks like a perfect breakfast.
Yay! I'm so glad you liked it. :)

Looks delicious! I can't get any fresh cranberries over here, perhaps I can use the frozen ones! Thanks for sharing.

Hi Elsa! When muffins became "big" deli business about 25 years ago (oh, i am dating myself!) and I used to get one in the morning with coffee on the way to work in new york city, I would ALWAYS get a cranberry muffin very similar to this! Oh this brings back memories~ Thanks for sharing it on the hearth and soul hop! All the best, Alex
Looks great now I know what I can do with my frozen cranberries besides making cranberry sauce.
