Ingredients

• 2 cups all-purpose flour
• 0.75 cups granulated sugar
• 1.5 teaspoons baking powder
• 0.5 teaspoons baking soda
• 0.5 teaspoons salt
• 1 cup buttermilk
• 0.25 cups unsalted butter, melted and slightly cooled
• 1 large egg
• 1 teaspoons vanilla extract
• 1 cups dried cranberries (craisins)
• 0.5 cups chopped walnuts or pecans

Directions

Step 1

Preheat your oven to 350°F (175°C) and grease a 9x5-inch loaf pan or line it with parchment paper.

Step 2

In a large mixing bowl, whisk together the all-purpose flour, granulated sugar, baking powder, baking soda, and salt until well combined.

Step 3

In a separate medium bowl, whisk together the buttermilk, melted butter, egg, and vanilla extract until smooth.

Step 4

Pour the wet ingredients into the dry ingredients and gently stir until just combined. Be careful not to overmix.

Step 5

Fold in the dried cranberries and chopped nuts using a rubber spatula, ensuring they are evenly distributed.

Step 6

Pour the batter into the prepared loaf pan and spread it out evenly with a spatula.

Step 7

Bake in the preheated oven for 50-55 minutes, or until a toothpick inserted into the center of the bread comes out clean.

Step 8

Remove the loaf from the oven and allow it to cool in the pan for 10 minutes. Then transfer it to a wire rack to cool completely before slicing.

Step 9

Serve slices of Craisin Nut Bread warm or at room temperature. Store leftovers in an airtight container at room temperature for up to 3 days or in the refrigerator for up to a week.
