Cranberry Orange Banana Bread Recipe

If you love banana bread, you will enjoy this Cranberry Orange Banana Bread. The beautiful addition of dried cranberries and fresh orange juice brings this banana bread to the next level.

This is a sweet bread fit for any occasion during the holidays. It is easy to make and very good for breakfast, brunch, or late afternoon, next to a cup of tea or coffee.

Cranberry

Banana bread is such a great comforting bread that everyone loves. However, this version that adds fresh orange juice and zest together with dried cranberries will soon become a favorite in your house.

A bonus for this recipe is the addition of nuts. I like the different textures and flavors in this bread, and I always look forward to making this recipe when I have ripe bananas sitting around.

The recipe requiresall-purposeflour, the most available flour in most American households. If you have self-rise flour, you will need to skip the baking powder and salt, as these ingredients are parts of this flour type.

You can replace it with the same amount of granulated or dark brown sugar. If you use dark brown sugar, the bread will be darker in color and denser with a more caramel or molasses flavor.

Any good banana bread has overripe bananas. I genuinely believe this bread was invented for these bananas sitting on the kitchen counter and not being loved. Like the zucchini bread using extra zucchini or carrot cake, using carrots, right?

Walnuts are my choice for this recipe, but pecans or chopped almonds are good too. If you are allergic to nuts, you can skip them.

The original recipe requires cranberries but if you don't have them around, use dried tart cherries or raisins. Remember that raisins provide more sweetness, while cherries are tart.

Cranberry, Nut & Orange Bread

Bake for an hour until firm to the touch or until a skewer inserted into the center of the loaf comes out clean.

It is a perfect bread to freeze for later use. It would keep well in the freezer for up to three months.

I did not experiment with other ingredients, so I cannot tell you what would happen if you started replacing them. After all, baking is chemistry, and you need to know what you are doing. However, if you like experimenting and coming up with something brilliant, please come back and let me know in the comments.

The recipe requires all-purpose flour, which is the most available flour in most American households. If you have self-rising flour, you will need to skip the baking powder and salt, as these ingredients are both parts of this type of flour.

Light brown sugar- you can replace it with the same amount of granulated sugar or dark brown sugar. If you use dark brown sugar, the bread will be darker in color and denser with a more caramel or molasses flavor.

I want to substitute the X ingredient with the Y ingredient. I did not experiment with other ingredients, so I cannot tell you what would happen if you would start replacing them. However, if you like experimenting and come up with something brilliant, please come back and let me know in the comments.

Orange Cranberry Glazed Poppy Seed Bread

Love a good slice of cranberry orange bread. Although nowadays, I’d rather hold all of the processed ingredients, please. So for a throwback Thursday recipe today, I thought it would be fun to make a batch from scratch! Oh, and I added bananas, since I had a bunch of ripe ones sitting on my counter that needed to be used up. (<– This ended up being a

Then bake it up to moist, sweet, delicious perfection in the oven. (<– If the top starts to get too brown, just gently lay a sheet of aluminum foil on the top of the loaf to prevent more browning.)

. The subtle orange with the tart cranberries really work nicely with the banana flavor. It was everything I hoped it to be!

Vegan Cranberry Orange Bread

This cranberry orange banana bread would make an excellent gift. But equally amazing as an addition to breakfast or brunch and would also be the perfect after dinner dessert. I’ve even included instructions for storing and freezing below.

Lightly grease (and line with parchment if desired) two 9×5 loaf pans with nonstick baking spray with flour. Or you could also grease and use parchment paper.

In a bowl measure and add 2 cups unbleached all-purpose flour, 1-1/2 teaspoons baking soda, 1-1/2 teaspoons baking powder, 1 teaspoon fine salt, 2 teaspoons ground cinnamon, 1 teaspoon ground ginger, 3/4 teaspoon ground nutmeg and 1/2 teaspoon ground mace.

Cranberry Orange Banana Bread

Don’t have ripe bananas but you need and want to make this bread? Simply place your unpeeled bananas on a small rimmed baking sheet. Slide them in a 350° oven and bake for 15 to 20 minutes. Once cooled and save to handle, peel and add to a bowl before mashing!

Then in a large bowl, add 1/2 cup granulated sugar, 1/2 cup light brown sugar and the zest of 1 large orange – this will give a subtle orange flavor.

The orange in this quick bread is subtle and perfect (in my opinion). However if you want more orange flavor, consider upping the amount of orange zest.

Cranberry Banana Bread • You Say Potatoes

Spread the top of the batter smooth and bake in the lower-third of your oven for 40 to 45 minutes OR until a tester comes out of the middle with a few crumbs attached. In my oven, that took 40 minutes. Because every oven is different, I recommend checking at the 35 minute mark.

Allow the cranberry orange banana bread to cool in the pans for 15 to 20 minutes before carefully turning out and placing on a wire wrack to further cool.

Best when served warm with softened salted butter. Maybe even a drizzle of honey and a cup of coffee or tea too!

Cranberry Nut Bread

Allow the bread to cool completely before storing. This quick bread will last up to 3 to 4 days on the counter if wrapped tightly in plastic wrap. For freezing, double wrap each loaf in plastic wrap and then in aluminum foil. Freeze up to 4 months.
