Ingredients

Dry Ingredients

2 cups sifted enriched flour
2 tsp baking powder
½ tsp baking soda
1½ tsp salt
¾ cup sugar
2 cups raw cranberries, halved
½ cup chopped pecans
3 tbsp orange peel, grated

Wet Ingredients

1 egg, slightly beaten
½ cup orange juice
¼ cup warm water
2 tbsp salad oil

Instructions

Preheat your oven to 350°F (175°C). Grease two 9x5x3-inch loaf pans.
In a large mixing bowl, whisk together the flour, sugar, baking powder, baking soda, and salt until well combined.
Gently fold in the halved cranberries, chopped pecans, and grated orange peel to distribute evenly.

🎉 Tip: You can use fresh or frozen cranberries; if using frozen, do not thaw them before mixing to maintain the texture!

In a separate bowl, mix together the beaten egg, orange juice, warm water, and salad oil until well combined.
Pour the wet ingredients into the dry mixture. Stir gently just until moistened—be careful not to over-mix!

🌟 Over-mixing can lead to denser bread; it’s okay if a few lumps remain!

Spoon the batter evenly into the prepared loaf pans.
Bake for 50 to 60 minutes, or until a toothpick inserted into the center comes out clean.
Once baked, cool in the pan for 5 minutes, then remove from the pan and finish cooling on a rack.

🍽️ Serve it sliced and enjoy the burst of flavors! If you want to get fancy, sprinkle some powdered sugar on top for a lovely presentation.

Variations

Nut-free: Simply omit the pecans or replace them with sunflower seeds for a delightful crunch! 🌻
Sweetener swap: Try using honey or maple syrup instead of granulated sugar for a natural sweetness.
Dried fruit addition: Add ½ cup of dried apricots or raisins for extra flavor dimensions!
Mini loaves: Bake in smaller loaf pans for cute gifts—adjust baking time to 30-40 minutes.
