Cranberry Nut Bread on a chalk board

We love quick breads; especially when you're looking for something a little sweet, but not overly so. Something that you can grab with a quick cup of coffee to nibble on either for breakfast or afternoon snack. This Cranberry Nut Bread was delicious and makes a tasty treat around the holidays. 

Most of the time I make banana or zucchini bread, but wanted to try a new version with cranberries since it would go perfectly for Thanksgiving or Christmas. My family loved this bread so I'll definitely be making it again. 

Ingredients Needed

For this recipe you'll need the following ingredients: 

  • All Purpose Flour
  • Baking Powder
  • Baking Soda
  • Salt
  • Canola Oil
  • Milk
  • Apple Cider (not vinegar)
  • Granulated Sugar
  • An Egg
  • Vanilla Extract
  • Dried Cranberries
  • Chopped Walnuts
  • Cooking Spray

Equipment Needed

You'll need the following kitchen equipment to make this loaf bread:

  • 2 mixing bowls; small and large
  • dry measuring cups and spoons
  • liquid measuring cup
  • electric handheld mixer or a whisk
  • mixing spoon
  • 9x5-inch loaf pan 

Cranberry Walnut Bread

How do you make Cranberry Nut Bread?

  1. Preheat the oven to 350 degrees F; t hen spray the loaf pan with cooking spray. 
  2. Add the flour, baking soda, baking powder and salt to the small mixing bowl; mix well. 
  3. Add the oil, milk, cider, sugar, egg and vanilla extract to the larger mixing bowl; then blend until smooth with the mixer or a whisk. Add the dry mixture to the wet mixture and fold by hand to combine. 
  4. Next, stir in the cranberries and chopped walnuts; then pour the batter into the prepared loaf pan. Bake for 60 minutes or until a knife inserted into the center comes out clean. Once cooled, slice the Cranberry Nut Bread into twelve slices. 

Storing

You can wrap this bread in plastic wrap and store at room temperature or in the refrigerator for up to 1 week or in the freezer for up to 3 months.

I recommend leaving the bread whole and only slicing the pieces needed so the bread doesn't dry out.

      I recently made a Sour Cream Cranberry Loaf Bread with fresh cranberries and the cranberries also floated to the top. I think because they are so light and airy. I'm glad you liked the recipe!

    I don't have apple cider. Is there any way I could use orange juice?
