Ingredients

• 2 cups all-purpose flour
• 1 cup granulated sugar
• 1.5 teaspoons baking powder
• 0.5 teaspoons baking soda
• 0.5 teaspoons salt
• 1 cup fresh cranberries, chopped
• 1 tablespoon orange zest
• 0.5 cup fresh orange juice
• 0.5 cup buttermilk
• 4 tablespoons unsalted butter, melted
• 1 piece large egg
• 1 teaspoon vanilla extract
• 0.5 cup chopped walnuts

Directions

Step 1

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

Step 2

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

Step 3

Add the chopped cranberries and orange zest to the dry ingredients. Toss gently to coat the cranberries and distribute the zest evenly.

Step 4

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

Step 5

Pour the wet ingredients into the dry ingredients. Mix gently using a spatula until just combined; be careful not to overmix.

Step 6

Fold in the chopped walnuts, ensuring they are evenly distributed throughout the batter.

Step 7

Pour the batter into the prepared loaf pan, smoothing the top with a spatula.

Step 8

Bake in the preheated oven for 50-60 minutes, or until a toothpick inserted into the center comes out clean.

Step 9

Once baked, remove the bread from the oven and let it cool in the pan for about 10 minutes. Then transfer it to a wire rack to cool completely before slicing.

Step 10

Serve the bread plain, or with a spread of butter or cream cheese. Store any leftovers in an airtight container for up to 3 days, or freeze for longer storage.
