Ingredients

• 2 cups All-purpose flour
• 1 cup Granulated sugar
• 2 teaspoons Baking powder
• 0.5 teaspoon Salt
• 1 tablespoon Orange zest
• 0.75 cup Orange juice
• 0.5 cup Vegetable oil
• 2 Large eggs
• 1 teaspoon Vanilla extract
• 1 cup Fresh cranberries (coarsely chopped)
• 0.75 cup Shredded unsweetened coconut

Directions

Step 1

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

Step 2

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

Step 3

Stir in the orange zest to evenly distribute its flavor throughout the dry ingredients.

Step 4

In a separate medium-sized bowl, combine the orange juice, vegetable oil, eggs, and vanilla extract. Whisk until the mixture is smooth and well blended.

Step 5

Create a well in the center of the dry ingredients and pour in the wet ingredients. Gently fold together with a spatula or wooden spoon until just combined—do not overmix.

Step 6

Fold in the chopped cranberries and shredded coconut to distribute them evenly throughout the batter.

Step 7

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

Step 8

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

Step 9

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

Step 10

Serve slices of Cranberry Coconut Orange Bread as-is or with a light spread of butter. Enjoy!
