Ingredients
Dry Ingredients
- 2 cups all-purpose flour
- 3/4 cup granulated sugar
- 1/2 teaspoon baking powder
- 1/2 teaspoon salt
Wet Ingredients
- 1/2 cup milk room temperature
- 2 large eggs room temperature
- 1/4 cup melted butter
Mix-ins
- 1 cup fresh cranberries, halved
- 1 cup chopped walnuts
Instructions
Preparation
- Preheat your oven to 350°F (175°C). Grease a loaf pan or line it with parchment paper.
- In a large bowl, whisk together the flour, sugar, baking powder, and salt until well combined.
- In another bowl, mix the milk, eggs, and melted butter until fully blended. Pour this mixture into the dry ingredients and stir gently to combine.
- Carefully fold in the halved cranberries and chopped walnuts until they are evenly mixed throughout the batter.
- Pour the batter into the prepared loaf pan and smooth out the top with a spatula.
Baking
- Bake in your preheated oven for 60-70 minutes, or until a toothpick inserted in the center comes out clean.
- Remove from the oven and let it cool in the pan for a bit, then transfer to a wire rack to cool completely before slicing.
Notes
For a refreshing twist, consider adding a teaspoon of orange or lemon zest to the batter. If you’re not a fan of walnuts, feel free to swap in pecans or even chocolate chips. Store the bread wrapped tightly in plastic wrap or aluminum foil to keep it fresh; it can also be frozen for up to three months.
