Ingredients
- 1/2 Cup (100 g) Greek Yogurt
- 1/2 Cup (112 g) Neutral oil (such as avocado, canola or vegetable oil)
- 2 (2) eggs
- 1/2 Cup (122 g) Milk
- 2/3 Cup (133 g) Sugar
- 1 tsp. (4 g) Vanilla Extract
- 1/4 Cup (62 g) Orange Juice
- 2 Tbsp. (12 g) Orange zest
- 2 Cup (250 g) All-purpose Flour
- 1/2 tsp. (3 g) Salt
- 1 tsp. (5 g) Baking powder
- 1/2 tsp. (2 g) Baking soda
- 1 Cup (100 g) Cranberries (Fresh or frozen)
Simple Orange Glaze:
- 3/4 Cup. (94 g) Powered sugar
- 1 tsp. (2 g) Orange zest
- 2 Tbsp. (34 g) Orange juice
Instructions
- Preheat the oven to 350 degrees F (175 C). Grease or line a 9x5 bread pan with parchment paper.
- In a medium bowl, combine the flour, salt, baking powder, and baking soda. Whisk together and set aside.
- In a separate large bowl, add the sugar and orange zest. Use your fingers to rub them together for about 1 minute until the sugar looks slightly damp and smells fragrant. This step releases the oils in the zest and makes a big difference in flavor.
- Add the eggs to the sugar mixture and beat with an electric mixer on medium-high for 1 minute. Add the Greek yogurt, milk, vanilla extract, oil, and orange juice. Mix until fully combined.
- Add the dry ingredients into the wet ingredients and stir until just combined. Be careful not to overmix.
- Fold in the cranberries gently.
- Pour the batter into the prepared bread pan. Bake for 50-60 minutes or until a toothpick inserted in the center comes out clean. Remove from the oven and let cool completely.
- Once the loaf has cooled, make the glaze by whisking together the powdered sugar, orange juice, and orange zest until smooth. Pour over the loaf and enjoy!
