Ingredients

• 2 cups all-purpose flour
• 0.75 cup granulated sugar
• 2 teaspoons baking powder
• 0.5 teaspoon salt
• 0.75 cup buttermilk
• 0.33 cup unsalted butter, melted and cooled
• 1 piece large egg
• 1 teaspoon vanilla extract
• 1 cup fresh or frozen blueberries
• 1 cup fresh or frozen cranberries
• 1 teaspoon orange zest

Directions

Step 1

Preheat your oven to 350°F (175°C) and grease a 9x5-inch (23x13 cm) loaf pan or line it with parchment paper.

Step 2

In a large mixing bowl, whisk together the all-purpose flour, granulated sugar, baking powder, and salt until evenly combined.

Step 3

In a separate medium-sized bowl, whisk together the buttermilk, melted and cooled unsalted butter, egg, and vanilla extract until smooth.

Step 4

Pour the wet ingredients into the bowl with the dry ingredients and stir gently until just combined. Be careful not to overmix; the batter should be slightly lumpy.

Step 5

Fold the blueberries, cranberries, and orange zest into the batter using a spatula, distributing them evenly throughout.

Step 6

Pour the batter into the prepared loaf pan and smooth out the top with the spatula.

Step 7

Bake in the preheated oven for 50-60 minutes, or until a toothpick inserted into the center comes out clean.

Step 8

Remove the bread from the oven and allow it to cool in the pan for 10 minutes.

Step 9

Carefully transfer the bread to a wire rack to cool completely before slicing and serving.

Step 10

Enjoy your homemade Blueberry Cranberry Bread with a cup of tea or coffee!
