Time 1h

Number Of Ingredients 12

2 c flour + 1/2 tbsp for cranberries, unless using dried
1 1/2 tsp baking powder
1/2 tsp baking soda
1/2 tsp salt
1 c sugar
1 egg ~ room temp
2 Tbsp melted, butter
1/2 c chopped nuts, ~ optional, i didn't use
1/2 c + 1 tablespoon - orange juice
1/3 - 1/4 c orange zest - to your liking
2 Tbsp warm water
1 c whole cranberries ( mine were froze ) i coated with flour ~ or can use dried

Steps:

1. Preheat oven to 350 degree F. I used 3 mini loaf pans or can use a 9 x 5 loaf pan. Spray with non stick cooking spray.
2. In a large bowl, mix the dry ingredients. Add all other ingredients and stir only until all dry ingredients are blended well. I added my cranberries now too, you can always wait and fold them and nuts in last.
3. Spoon batter into prepared pan or pans, evenly. Batter will be thick. Bake in 9 x 13 for 50 - 55 minutes or mini pans for 30 - 35 minutes or until pick comes out clean.
4. When done, place on cooling rack for a few minutes, then if you like remove from pan and finish cooling.
