The abundance of oranges in this bread is so comforting! You have got to give it a try, I’m telling you! Serve it with your favorite cup of coffee for the best experience. Enjoy!

Ingredients:

¼ c freshly squeezed orange juice (1 navel orange)
1 ½ c all-purpose flour (195-200g fluffed and leveled)
2 tsp baking powder
½ c plain Greek yogurt (100g)
zest of 1 orange (or 2, if you like things tangy!)
1 tsp vanilla
1 c fresh or frozen cranberries (*I like to halve the large ones so they incorporate more evenly)
2 large Eggs
½ tsp salt
1 c sugar (200g) Use up to 1 ¼ c for a sweeter bread
½ c melted butter

Glaze

1-2 tbsp orange juice
½ c powdered icing sugar

Directions:

For the Bread:

Prepare the oven and preheat it to 175 degrees C or 350 degrees F.

Apply cooking spray to the inside of a 9×5-inch loaf pan.

Add sugar, butter, and yogurt into a large mixing bowl. Whisk everything until well incorporated.

Beat in the juice, eggs, and vanilla until well blended.

Add the orange zest, flour, salt, and baking powder. Stir until well incorporated. Add the cranberries and stir until well combined.

Transfer the mixture to the prepared loaf pan and spread it evenly. Add more cranberries on top.

Place the loaf pan in the preheated oven and bake the batter for about an hour or until done. After 40 minutes, cover it with foil. Remove from the oven.

For the Glaze:

Add powdered icing sugar and orange juice into a mixing bowl, then stir until well blended.

Add the glaze on top of the bread and spread it evenly. Let it rest before serving.

Serve and enjoy!

Notes:

Place any leftovers in an airtight container, then put them in the fridge. They can last up to 4 days.
