•Ingredients:
1 ½ teaspoons baking powder
½ teaspoon baking soda
½ teaspoon salt
1 ½ cups all-purpose flour
1 cup granulated sugar
¾ cup freshly squeezed orange juice
2 tablespoons vegetable oil
1 large egg, beaten
1 cup fresh or frozen cranberries, coarsely chopped
½ cup chopped nuts (optional)
•Instructions:
Preheat the oven to 350°F (175°C). Grease and flour a 9×5-inch loaf pan.
In a large mixing bowl, whisk together the flour, sugar, baking powder, baking soda, and salt until well combined.
In a separate bowl, mix the orange juice, vegetable oil, and beaten egg until evenly blended.
Pour the wet ingredients into the dry ingredients and stir until just combined. Avoid overmixing.
Gently fold in the chopped cranberries and nuts (if using) until evenly distributed throughout the batter.
Pour the batter into the prepared loaf pan, spreading it evenly.
Bake in the preheated oven for 55 to 60 minutes, or until a toothpick inserted into the center comes out clean.
Allow the bread to cool in the pan for 10 minutes, then transfer it to a wire rack to cool completely before slicing.
