Delicious Cranberry Walnut Bread Recipe for Every Occasion

Ingredients

Servings:
10
  • 2 cups all-purpose flour
  • 1 cup fresh cranberries (can use dried if preferred)
  • 1 cup chopped walnuts
  • 1 cup granulated sugar
  • 1 teaspoon baking soda
  • 1 teaspoon baking powder
  • 1 teaspoon salt
  • 1 teaspoon cinnamon
  • 2 large eggs
  • 1 cup vegetable oil
  • 1 cup orange juice
  • 1 teaspoon vanilla extract
  • 1 cup milk (can substitute with non-dairy milk)

Instructions

8 steps

  1. Preheat the Oven

    Preheat your oven to 350°F (175°C) and grease a loaf pan.

    Use parchment paper for easy removal.
  2. Mix Dry Ingredients

    In a large bowl, combine flour, sugar, baking soda, baking powder, salt, and cinnamon.

    Whisk together to ensure even distribution.
  3. Combine Wet Ingredients

    In another bowl, mix eggs, vegetable oil, orange juice, milk, and vanilla extract until smooth.

    Beat the eggs well to incorporate air.
  4. Combine Mixtures

    Gradually add the wet mixture to the dry ingredients and stir until just combined.

    Do not overmix; a few lumps are okay.
  5. Add Cranberries and Walnuts

    Fold in cranberries and chopped walnuts gently.

    Reserve a few walnuts for topping if desired.
  6. Transfer to Loaf Pan

    Pour the batter into the prepared loaf pan and smooth the top.

    Sprinkle reserved walnuts on top for garnish.
  7. Bake

    Bake in preheated oven for 60 minutes or until a toothpick comes out clean.

    Check at 50 minutes; cover with foil if browning too quickly.
  8. Cool and Serve

    Let the bread cool in the pan for 10 minutes, then transfer to a wire rack to cool completely.

    Slice once completely cool for neat pieces.
