- 1 teaspoon vanilla extract
- 1 cup fresh or frozen cranberries, chopped

Directions
Step 1
Preheat your oven to 350°F (175°C). Grease a 9x5-inch loaf pan and set aside.
Step 2
In a large bowl, whisk together the flour, baking powder, baking soda, and salt.
Step 3
In another bowl, combine the granulated sugar, melted butter, beaten eggs, orange juice, and vanilla extract until well mixed.
Step 4
Gradually add the wet ingredients to the dry ingredients, stirring just until combined. Be careful not to overmix.
Step 5
Gently fold in the chopped cranberries and walnuts until evenly distributed throughout the batter.
Step 6
Pour the batter into the prepared loaf pan, smoothing the top with a spatula.
Step 7
Bake in the preheated oven for 60 minutes, or until a toothpick inserted into the center of the loaf comes out clean.
Step 8
Allow the bread to cool in the pan for about 10 minutes, then remove from the pan and transfer to a wire rack to cool completely before slicing and serving.
