Instructions

Preheat the oven to 350°F (175°C). Grease and flour a 9×5 inch loaf pan.
In a large bowl, whisk together flour, sugar, baking powder, baking soda, salt, and orange zest.
In another bowl, whisk together orange juice, oil, eggs, and vanilla extract.
Pour the wet ingredients into the dry ingredients and stir until just combined.
Fold in the cranberries gently.
Pour the batter into the prepared loaf pan and spread evenly.
Bake for 50–60 minutes or until a toothpick inserted into the center comes out clean.
Let the bread cool in the pan for 10 minutes, then transfer to a wire rack to cool completely.

Notes

Frozen cranberries can be used without thawing.
For extra flavor, add a glaze made with orange juice and powdered sugar.
This bread stores well in the fridge for up to a week.
