Ingredients

• 2 cups all-purpose flour
• 2 teaspoons baking powder
• 0.5 teaspoon salt
• 1 cup granulated sugar
• 2 large eggs
• 0.5 cup whole milk
• 0.25 cup vegetable oil
• 1 teaspoon vanilla extract
• 0.75 cup dried cranberries
• 0.5 cup sliced almonds
• 0.5 teaspoon almond extract

Directions

Step 1

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

Step 2

In a large mixing bowl, whisk together the flour, baking powder, salt, and sugar until well combined.

Step 3

In another medium bowl, beat the eggs. Add the milk, vegetable oil, vanilla extract, and almond extract, and whisk until the wet ingredients are fully blended.

Step 4

Gradually pour the wet ingredients into the dry ingredients, stirring gently with a spatula or wooden spoon until just combined. Be careful not to overmix.

Step 5

Fold in the dried cranberries and sliced almonds until evenly distributed throughout the batter.

Step 6

Pour the batter into the prepared loaf pan, spreading it out evenly with a spatula.

Step 7

Place the loaf pan in the preheated oven and bake for 45-50 minutes, or until a toothpick inserted into the center of the bread comes out clean.

Step 8

Once baked, remove the pan from the oven and allow the bread to cool in the pan for about 10 minutes.

Step 9

Carefully transfer the bread onto a wire rack to cool completely before slicing and serving.

Step 10

Enjoy your Cranberry Almond Bread as is, or serve with butter or cream cheese for added indulgence!
