Ingredients

1 1/2 cups cranberries fresh or frozen, roughly chopped

1 tsp all-purpose flour

1 1/2 cups all-purpose flour

1/2 cup sugar

1 tsp baking powder

1/2 tsp baking soda

1/2 tsp salt

1/4 cup honey

2 eggs

1/2 cup orange juice

1 tbsp orange zest

2 tbsp butter unsalted and melted


Instructions


Preheat your oven to 350 F. Spray a 9x5 loaf pan with nonstick cooking spray.


Sprinkle a teaspoon of flour over the cranberries and mix; set aside. This will prevent the cranberries from sinking to the bottom of the bread. If using frozen cranberries, no need to thaw them out.


In a large bowl, combine the flour, sugar, baking powder, baking soda, salt together.


In a separate bowl, whisk together the honey, eggs, orange juice, orange zest and melted butter. Stir into dry ingredients, do not over mix.


Fold in the prepared cranberries then pour the batter into the prepared loaf pan.


Bake the bread for about 45 minutes to 1 hour. To test if the bread is done, insert a toothpick into the center of the bread and if it comes out clean, the bread is done, otherwise continue baking. Allow the bread to cool completely in the pan.


Slice and serve.


Recipe Notes

How to store it: Once the bread has cooled completely wrap it in aluminum foil or plastic wrap. It will stay fresh at room temperature for up to 3 days. You can also refrigerate it for up to 6 days.



How to freeze it: Wrap the cooled bread tightly with aluminum foil or plastic freezer wrap, then place it in a freezer bag and freeze for up to 3 months.



How to reheat it: If you froze the cranberry bread, thaw it out at room temperature for about an hour, unwrap it then transfer it to a baking sheet or loaf pan and bake for about 5 to 10 min at 350 F degrees or until heated through.
