Equipment

  • 9x5 Metal Loaf Pan
  • Measuring Cups and Spoons
  • Mixing Bowls

Ingredients

  • 1 ½ cups frozen cranberries tossed with 1 tablespoon flour
  • 250 grams all-purpose flour about 2 cups
  • 4 teaspoon baking powder
  • 1 teaspoon sea salt
  • 1 cup buttermilk
  • 100 grams granulated sugar about ½ cup
  • cup vegetable oil
  • 2 large eggs
  • ¾ cup leftover cranberry sauce

Instructions

  • Preheat oven to 350F degrees and line a 9x5 metal pan with parchment paper and spray the ends. I like to leave my edges high for easy removal after baking.
  • In a small bowl add frozen cranberries and 1 tablespoon all-purpose flour. Mix to combine, then set aside.
  • In a medium bowl whisk all-purpose flour, baking powder and salt. Set aside.
  • In a large bowl add granulated sugar, buttermilk, vegetable oil and eggs. Whisk well until combined.
  • Transfer dry ingredients into the wet ingredients and mix with a spatula until there are no dry streaks. Fold in cranberry sauce then frozen cranberries.
  • Pour batter into prepared 9x5 pan and bake for 60-65 minutes or until a toothpick comes out with moist crumbs from the center.
  • Leave the pan for 10-15 minutes on a wire rack before removing the loaf and allowing it to cool fully on a wire rack.

Notes

  • Tossing your cranberries in flour keeps them suspended in the batter instead of sinking.
  • Use a toothpick to check the center of the bread for moist crumbs.
  • Let the loaf rest on a wire rack before slicing slices for best texture.
  • Fold the batter gently so the crumb stays soft and tender.
  • Use plastic wrap or foil to keep the bread fresh.
