cranberry-orange bread
More cranberries!
Preheat oven to 350F. Grease and flour the bottom of a standard loaf pan. Avoid dark, non-stick pans, which tend to overbake the outside of the loaf. I find that the antique heavy glass loaf pans I use work well.
Combine in a large bowl:
2 cups flour
1 cup old-fashioned oats
3/4 cup sugar
2 teaspoons baking powder
1/2 teaspoon baking soda
1/2 teaspoon salt
In another bowl, beat together until thoroughly mixed:
3/4 cup orange juice
2 eggs
1/3 cup vegetable oil
1 tablespoon orange zest
Add wet ingredients to the dry mixture, mixing until just moistened. Stir in:
3/4 cup halved fresh/frozen cranberries
1/2 cup chopped nuts (optional)
Pour into loaf pan and bake 60-70 minutes or until cake tester comes out clean. Cool about 10 minutes and remove from pan to cool the rest of the way.

Joel, have you ever made this with dried cranberries? We buy craisins in bulk for spinach salad, trail mix, etc. so I always have a lot on hand...
Thanks for this blog, by the way. I have been dreaming about your chocolate cake for weeks and need a good excuse to make it!
I've never tried it with dried cranberries. My only worry would be that the cranberries could end up too hard and chewy and overly sweet. Perhaps you could soak them in boiling water for a while first, to plump and soften them.
I do love dried cranberries though. They're great in spinach salad and on breakfast cereal.
Made this as muffins and they were fantastic! Thanks for the recipes, Joel :o)
