Ingredients

The following ingredients have 4 Servings
  • 1 cup fresh cranberries
  • 2 tablespoons fresh orange zest ((from 1 medium orange))
  • 3/4 cup orange juice
  • 2 cups all-purpose flour
  • 1 1/2 teaspoons baking powder
  • 1/2 teaspoon baking soda
  • 1/4 teaspoon salt
  • 1/4 cup unsalted butter ((melted and slightly cooled))
  • 1/3 cup maple syrup
  • 1 egg
  • 1 teaspoon vanilla extract

Instruction

  • Preheat the oven to 350 degree F and grease a standard 9x5-inch loaf pan with nonstick spray.
  • Place the cranberries into the bowl of a food processor and chop. Transfer to a large bowl.
  • Grate the zest of 1 orange with a fine microplane into the bowl.
  • Add the rest of the ingredients to the bowl and stir gently to combine.
  • Spoon mixture into the prepared pan and smooth the top evenly. Bake for about 50 minutes or until a cake tester inserted into the center comes out clean and the edges are lightly golden brown.
  • Let cool for 5-10 minutes in the pan, then carefully transfer the loaf to a wire rack.
  • Cool completely before slicing. Serve cold or at room temperature with butter or cream cheese if desired.
