Cranberry Nut Bread

Ah!  So much to write, post, and giveaway this week!  The recipes have been shoved to the back of the line and there are some good ones!

Anything with the words "cranberry" and "nut" in it is going to mean a grand slam in my mouth.  This one was great.  I made it for the Thanksgiving road trip and it was a perfect treat for me and the rascals.

Cranberry Nut Bread
by www.trainermomma.com

2 cups whole wheat white flour
1/2 cup sugar
1 1/2 tsp baking powder
1 tsp salt
1/2 baking soda
3/4 cup orange juice
2 Tb canola oil
1 Tb orange peel, grated
1 egg, beaten
1 1/2 cups fresh cranberries, coarsely chopped (yes, REAL cranberries)
1/2 cup nuts, chopped (I used walnuts)

Preheat oven to 350°F  degrees.

Spray a large (9x5 in.) loaf pan with nonstick cooking spray.

Put on a good CD and chop your cranberries and nuts.  This will take a while.

Mix all ingredients together, adding the cranberries and nuts in last.  Stir until just blended and spread evenly into loaf pan.  Bake for 55 minutes or until a toothpick comes out clean.

Cool on rack for 15 minutes.  Remove from pan and cool completely.
