Quick Cranberry Nut Bread

With me so far?  This is quick I tell ya!

Quick breads includes things like biscuits, scones, muffins, and coffeecakes.

These are a few of my favorite things!  {I’m actually singing this and I won’t be able to get that tune out of my head for the rest of the day.  When the dog bites, when the bee stings, when I’m feeling sad, I simply remember my favorite things…}

Here’s all you’ll need to make this Quick Cranberry Nut Bread.

Recipe type: Quick Bread
Serves: 1 loaf
Ingredients
  • 6 tablespoons butter, plus additional for greasing pan
  • 1½ cups fresh or frozen cranberries (about half a regular-sized bag)
  • 2 cups all-purpose flour
  • 1 cup granulated white sugar
  • 1 teaspoon salt
  • 1 teaspoon baking powder
  • 1 teaspoon baking soda
  • 1 large eggs
  • ⅔ cup buttermilk
  • ⅓ cup freshly squeezed orange juice
  • 1 tablespoon orange zest
  • ½ cup chopped toasted pecans or walnuts
Instructions
  1. Heat oven to 375. In a small saucepan or microwave oven, melt the butter; set aside. Grease a 9-inch x 5-inch loaf pan; set aside. Pulse the cranberries in a food processor until coarsely chopped; set aside.
  2. In a large bowl, whisk together the flour, sugar, salt, baking powder, and baking soda; set aside.
  3. In a small bowl, whisk the egg. Add the buttermilk, orange juice, and orange zest and whisk to combine. Add to the dry ingredients along with melted butter and stir until just combined. Fold in the cranberries and nuts until combined and spread into prepared loaf pan.
  4. Bake 20 minutes. Reduce heat to 350 and bake for 40-45 minutes longer or until done when tested with a skewer.
  5. Cool in pan for 10 minutes before removing from pan to cool completely on a wire rack before serving.
Notes
Don't over mix.

Makes 4 mini loafs. Reduce baking time by about 10 minutes.

This bread freezes very well so make a double batch!

Beets are one of the first things I get planted in the garden every year. Depending on the variety, they’re ready from seed to table in about 60 days. While we mostly associate this versatile vegetable with its deeply hued taproot, did you know the leaves are also edible? As they grow to maturity in the garden, I enjoy clipping the leaves for fresh crisp salads and quick stir-fry dishes. GreenThumbWhiteApron.com

Photo of jelly jars filled with Lavender-Strawberry Jam Spritzer Cocktail. We make strawberry jam every year and always have it on hand so it seemed natural to use it as a sweeter in this cocktail. When mixed together with a bit of lavender syrup, vanilla infused vodka, and club soda, you’ve got something quite special. GreenThumbWhiteApron.com
Strawberry blossoms are an indication of a heavy crop this year.
Perfect Steamed Eggs! The only sure-fire trick is to use old eggs. As eggs age, they gradually lose moisture through the pores in their shell and the air pocket at the tip expands. The pH of the whites also changes, going from a low pH to a relatively high pH, which makes them adhere less strongly to the shell. Farm-fresh eggs will always be tricky to age. Ideally, buy your eggs a week or two before you plan to boil them and let them age in the fridge.
