Cranberry Orange Bread l The Recipe Rebel

Ingredients
▢ ½ cup melted butter
▢ ½ cup plain Greek yogurt (100 grams)
▢ 1 cup sugar (200 grams) Use up to 1 ¼ cups for a sweeter bread
▢ 2 large eggs
▢ 1 teaspoon vanilla
▢ ¼ cup freshly squeezed orange juice (1 navel orange)
▢ 1 ½ cups all purpose flour (195-200 grams fluffed and levelled)
▢ 2 teaspoons baking powder
▢ ½ teaspoon salt
▢ zest of 1 orange (or 2, if you like things tangy!)
▢ 1 cup fresh or frozen cranberries (*I like to halve the large ones so they incorporate more evenly)
Glaze
▢ ½ cup powdered icing sugar
▢ 1-2 tablespoons orange juice

Instructions
Preheat oven to 350 degrees F and lightly grease an 8×4″ (or 9×5″ -- it will bake a little more quickly) loaf pan (I recommend glass or light colored non-stick pan).
In a large bowl whisk together butter, yogurt and sugar. Add eggs, vanilla and juice and whisk until smooth.
Add flour, baking powder, salt and orange zest and stir just until combined. Fold in cranberries.
Spread into prepared loaf pan and dot with a few extra cranberries if desired.
Bake at 350 degrees F for 60-70 minutes, (covering loosely with foil after 40 minutes or when top is golden to prevent further browning), until a toothpick in the bread comes out clean or with moist crumbs.
Glaze
Gradually stir orange juice into powdered icing sugar until desired consistency is reached — you may not need all of the juice! For clean lines, you want a thicker glaze.
Drizzle over loaf before serving.Cool to room temperature before slicing and serving. Store leftovers in the fridge for up to 4-5 days.

This recipe was perfect! My loaf came out nice and moist, even though I used whole wheat flour. I think I would tweak a few more things, use a bit more orange zest in the batter, tad more sugar and make more glaze. I did add some chopped walnuts just to give it some crunch. But darn, I love this so much. Thank you for sharing! Saving it to my holiday baking watchlist 🤤
