Description

Tracy’s Crantastic Cranberry Bread. Sweet, but not too sweet with the tang of fresh cranberries. More like a bread than a cake, but still soft and moist. Absolute perfection.

Ingredients

  • 2 cups Flour
  • 1-¼ cup Light Brown Sugar, Packed
  • 1-½ teaspoon Baking Powder
  • ½ teaspoons Baking Soda
  • 1 teaspoon Salt
  • 1 whole Large Egg, Beaten
  • ¾ cups Milk
  • 4 Tablespoons Butter, Melted
  • 1 bag (12 Ounces) Bag Of Fresh Cranberries
  • 1 Tablespoon Raw Sugar

Preparation

Grease and flour a 9- by 5-inch loaf pan. Adjust oven rack to lower-middle position and heat oven to 350 degrees. Mix flour, sugar, baking powder, baking soda and salt in a medium bowl. Meanwhile combine egg, milk and butter in a small bowl. Add wet mix to dry mix and combine thoroughly then stir in cranberries. Pour batter into prepared pan. Sprinkle with raw sugar. Bake until golden brown and a cake tester comes clean, about 1 hour 15 minutes. Let cool a few minutes. Run a knife around pan to loosen bread. Turn onto a wire rack to cool completely.

Question- can you make this as muffins instead of in a bread loaf? If you get a chance could you email me back about that? blogginginpa@ gmail.com

I noticed today that I printed this recipe out on 10/23/2010. I made this today. I used Bob’s Red mill gluten free baking flour and it turned out beautifully. I also added 1 t cinnamon. But the best news. I baked them in (5) mini loaf pans to give out as gifts and they turned out so cute and perfect. Loved how the topping gets crunchy and the inside with all the bursting of red from the cranberries makes it so pretty.

Love this recipe! I was happy to find one that did not have orange juice or zest! It’s a bonus that it is low fat! Thank you!

This bread is so delicious it’s ridiculous. I was reminded (by the bag of frozen cranberries in my freezer) that I never wrote a review for this amazing bread. It was the hit of the holidays with my family, and that’s saying a lot. Yumm, I think I just might use up those frozen ones and make more. Do yourself a favor and make this, you won’t regret it.

I made this bread for the first time last night and it was so good! Moist, not-too-sweet, good flavor, and a nice crunchy topping! I would definitely make this again (and probably will)!

I followed this recipe exactly , but when I ate a slice of this while it was still warm, I wasn’t sure I liked it, as it had a fairly strong molasses-like flavor. However, once it had cooled completely, the flavor was very different and much better. All the cranberries kept the bread moist and tangy and I liked that it wasn’t too sweet. My family members who tried it all gave it a thumbs up.
