Description
A simple recipe for moist, sweet bread flavored with orange zest and tart cranberries, suitable for vegans.
Ingredients
Scale
- 1 1/2 cups all-purpose flour
- 1 teaspoon baking soda
- 1/2 teaspoon salt
- 1/2 cup granulated sugar
- 1/4 cup brown sugar, packed
- 1/2 cup unsweetened applesauce
- 1/4 cup neutral oil (like canola or vegetable)
- 1/4 cup plant milk (like soy or almond)
- 1 tablespoon orange zest
- 2 tablespoons fresh orange juice
- 1 teaspoon vanilla extract
- 1 cup fresh or frozen cranberries
Instructions
- Preheat your oven to 350 degrees F (175 degrees C). Grease and flour a standard loaf pan (about 9×5 inches).
- In a large bowl, whisk together the flour, baking soda, and salt.
- In a separate medium bowl, mix the granulated sugar, brown sugar, applesauce, oil, plant milk, orange zest, orange juice, and vanilla extract until combined.
- Pour the wet ingredients into the dry ingredients. Mix gently until just combined; do not overmix.
- Fold in the cranberries.
- Pour the batter into the prepared loaf pan.
- Bake for 50 to 60 minutes, or until a toothpick inserted into the center comes out clean.
- Let the bread cool in the pan for 10 minutes before turning it out onto a wire rack to cool completely.
Notes
- If you use frozen cranberries, do not thaw them before adding them to the batter.
- For a sweeter top, you can sprinkle 1 tablespoon of coarse sugar over the batter before baking.
- Store leftover bread tightly wrapped at room temperature for up to three days.
