Ingredients
  

For Cranberry Orange Bread

  • 1 1/2 cups flour all purpose
  • 3/4 cup sugar granulated
  • 2 tsp baking powder
  • 1/2 tsp salt
  • 1/4 cup vegetable oil
  • 1/3 cup fresh orange juice (about 3/4 naval orange)
  • 2 eggs large
  • 1/2 tsp vanilla extract
  • 1/2 tsp almond extract
  • zest of one orange
  • 3/4 cup Craisins® Dried Cranberries

For Icing

  • 1 1/4 cup powdered sugar
  • 3 tbsp fresh orange juice
  • 1/2 tsp vanilla extract

Instructions
 

For Cranberry Orange Bread

  • Preheat oven to 350 degrees. Grease and line your loaf pan (8.5x4.5 inch)
  • In a large bowl, zest one orange and mix with sugar by rubbing with your fingers until fully combined. Add flour, baking powder and salt and whisk. Add 1tsp of flour mixture to your Craisins in a separate bowl & coat to prevent them from sinking while baking. Add in oil, â…“ cup orange juice, extracts, and eggs and whisk until smooth. Fold in flour-coated Craisins with a rubber spatula.
  • Spread batter into pan evenly. Bake 50 to 60 minutes or until toothpick inserted in center comes out clean. Cool in pan 10 minutes then remove and allow to cool completely.

For Icing

  • Whisk powdered sugar, orange juice and vanilla in a bowl and mix until combined. I like my icing glaze on the thick side so it dries to a nice crust.
  • Spread icing evenly over cooled loaf, using an offset spatula to create nice "drips." Garnish with more Craisins, orange zest, or even sprinkles if you like!
