Ingredients

• 2 cups All-purpose flour
• 1 cup Granulated sugar
• 2 teaspoons Baking powder
• 0.5 teaspoons Salt
• 0.5 cup Unsalted butter, melted
• 0.75 cup Milk
• 2 large Eggs
• 1.5 cups Fresh cranberries, roughly chopped
• 1 medium Fresh jalapenos, finely diced
• 1 tablespoon Orange zest
• 1 teaspoon Vanilla extract

Directions

Step 1

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

Step 2

In a medium-sized bowl, whisk together the all-purpose flour, granulated sugar, baking powder, and salt. Set aside.

Step 3

In a large bowl, whisk together the melted butter, milk, and eggs until well combined. Stir in the vanilla extract and orange zest.

Step 4

Gradually fold the dry ingredients into the wet ingredients, mixing until just combined. Be careful not to overmix.

Step 5

Gently fold in the chopped cranberries and diced jalapeno to evenly distribute them throughout the batter.

Step 6

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

Step 7

Bake in the preheated oven for 55–60 minutes, or until a toothpick inserted into the center of the loaf comes out clean.

Step 8

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

Step 9

Slice and serve warm or at room temperature. Enjoy the sweet, tangy, and spicy flavors of this unique bread!
