I have tried many cranberry bread recipes over the years and this one is truly the best. I make several mini loaves and share them with friends.

Time 1h

Number Of Ingredients 14

1/4 c butter, room temperature
1 c sugar
3/4 c fresh orange juice
1 Tbsp orange zest
1 tsp vanilla
2 c all purpose flour
1 1/2 tsp baking powder
1/2 tsp baking soda
1/2 tsp salt
1 1/2 c whole fresh cranberries
2/3 c coarsely chopped walnuts
1 c powdered sugar
1 Tbsp orange juice
1 Tbsp milk

Steps:

  • 1. Preheat oven to 350 degrees. Spray with Pam one 9x5 inch loaf pan or 3 mini loaf pans. Set aside.
  • 2. Cream butter, sugar and egg until smooth. Stir in orange juice, orange zest and vanilla.
  • 3. In another bowl, combine flour, baking powder, baking soda and salt. Add butter-egg mixture; stir just to blend. Add cranberries and walnuts and mix until well combined.
  • 4. Transfer mixture to prepared pan. Bake the 9x5 loaf pan for 40-50 minutes and the mini-loaf pans for 20-30 minutes. Bread is done when nicely browned and a wooden toothpick inserted in the center comes out clean. Cool on rack for 10 minutes; remove from pan and cool completely. Wrap and store overnight. Glaze if desired and garnish with a few dried cranberries and chopped walnuts.
  • 5. To make glaze: Place powdered sugar in a small deep bowl or 2-cup glass measure. Stir in orange juice and milk; whisk until smooth. If needed, add additional milk, to make it of the right consistency for drizzling.
