Ingredients
- 2 cups all-purpose flour
- 1 cup granulated sugar
- 1.5 teaspoons baking powder
- 0.5 teaspoon baking soda
- 0.5 teaspoon salt
- 1 teaspoon cinnamon
- 1 large egg
- 1 cup buttermilk
- 0.25 cup unsalted butter, melted
- 1 tablespoon orange zest
- 1 teaspoon vanilla extract
- 1.5 cups fresh or frozen cranberries
Directions
Step 1
Preheat your oven to 350°F (175°C) and grease a 9x5 inch loaf pan.
Step 2
In a large bowl, whisk together the flour, sugar, baking powder, baking soda, salt, and cinnamon.
Step 3
In a separate medium bowl, beat the egg lightly. Add the buttermilk, melted butter, orange zest, and vanilla extract. Mix well to combine.
Step 4
Pour the wet ingredients into the dry ingredients and stir just until combined. It's okay if the batter is a little lumpy.
Step 5
Gently fold in the cranberries until evenly distributed. Be careful not to overmix as this can make the bread tough.
Step 6
Pour the batter into the prepared loaf pan, smoothing the top with a spatula.
Step 7
Bake in the preheated oven for 50-60 minutes or until a toothpick inserted into the center of the bread comes out clean.
Step 8
Allow the cranberry bread to cool in the pan for about 10 minutes, then transfer it to a wire rack to cool completely.
Step 9
Serve once cooled and enjoy your nut-free cranberry bread!
