Quick Bread serves admirably from the brunch table to housewarming gestures to the afternoon tea.
Quick Bread tastes great, keep well, and is a good addition to any meal of the day
This Orange Cranberry Quick Bread isn’t overly sweet. It pairs very well with your favorite jam, especially good with marmalade.
This bread is very moist and tender, but not too heavy or dense. The dried cranberries are a bit sweeter than undried, so they’ll punch up the flavor, as well.
The toasted pecans add some crunch to this delicious bread. I use some whole wheat pastry flour, but it can be replaced by all-purpose flour.
- ¾ cups all-purpose flour
- ¼ cup whole wheat pastry flour
- 1 teaspoon baking powder
- ½ teaspoon baking soda
- ¼ teaspoon salt
- ¼ teaspoon ground cinnamon
- ¼ teaspoon ground allspice
- ½ cup granulated sugar
- ½ cup Plain Greek Yogurt
- ¼ cup chopped pecans, toasted
- 3 tablespoons 1% low-fat milk
- 3 tablespoons melted butter
- 3 tablespoons orange marmalade
- 2 teaspoons grated orange rind
- ½ cup dried cranberries
- 2 large eggs
- Cooking spray
- 3 Tablespoons brown sugar
- Preheat oven to 350°.
- Lightly spoon flours into dry measuring cups; level with a knife. Combine flours and the next 5 ingredients (flour through allspice) in a large bowl, stirring with a whisk; make a well in the center of mixture. Combine sugar and the next 7 ingredients (sugar through eggs), stirring with a whisk; add to flour mixture, stirring just until moist, fold in the cranberries.
- Spoon batter into an 8 x 4-inch loaf pan coated with cooking spray. Sprinkle the brown sugar on top. Bake at 350° for 45 minutes or until a wooden pick inserted in center comes out clean. Cool 10 minutes in pan on a wire rack; remove from pan. Cool completely on a wire rack.
