Ingredients:
- 1 cup all-purpose flour
- 1 cup whole wheat flour
- 1 1/2 tsp baking soda
- 1/2 tsp salt
- 1 cup sugar
- 1 egg
- 1/2 cup melted butter
- 2 cups cranberries
- 3/4 cup walnuts
Instructions:
-
In a mixing bowl, combine the all-purpose flour, whole wheat flour, baking soda, salt, and sugar. Stir well until evenly mixed, then set aside for later use.
-
In another mixing bowl, beat the egg until smooth. Add the orange juice and melted butter to the beaten egg, and continue mixing until well combined.
-
Gradually add the orange juice mixture to the dry ingredients, stirring continuously until a moist batter forms. Be careful not to overmix, as it may result in a dense texture.
-
Gently fold in the cranberries and walnuts into the batter, ensuring they are evenly distributed throughout.
-
Prepare a 9x5x2 inch loaf pan by greasing and flouring it to prevent sticking. Pour the batter into the prepared pan, spreading it evenly with a spatula.
-
Preheat your oven to 350°F (175°C). Place the filled loaf pan in the preheated oven and bake for 50-55 minutes, or until a toothpick inserted into the center comes out clean.
-
Once baked, remove the cranberry-orange nut bread from the oven and allow it to cool in the pan for a few minutes.
-
Carefully transfer the bread from the pan to a wire cooling rack to cool completely before slicing.
Serve slices of this delightful cranberry-orange nut bread on its own or with a dollop of butter for a delicious treat that will surely be enjoyed by family and friends alike!
