Ingredients

• 2 cups all-purpose flour
• 2 teaspoons baking powder
• 1 teaspoon baking soda
• 0.5 teaspoon salt
• 0.75 cup granulated sugar
• 0.5 cup unsalted butter, melted
• 0.75 cup milk
• 2 large eggs
• 1 teaspoon vanilla extract
• 1 cup dried cranberries
• 0.5 cup sunflower seeds
• 0.5 cup pumpkin seeds

Directions

Step 1

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

Step 2

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

Step 3

In another bowl, mix the granulated sugar and melted butter until well combined. Add the milk, eggs, and vanilla extract, and beat until smooth.

Step 4

Gradually add the wet ingredients to the dry ingredients, stirring gently until just combined and no streaks of flour remain. Do not overmix.

Step 5

Fold in the dried cranberries, sunflower seeds, and pumpkin seeds until they are 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 50-55 minutes, or until a toothpick inserted into the center comes out clean.

Step 8

Allow the bread to cool in the pan for about 10 minutes, then turn it out onto a wire rack to cool completely before slicing and serving.
