Orange Cranberry Bread

Orange Cranberry Bread

It is the season for cranberries! I love the tartness of cranberries in cakes, breads and muffins. They are delicious and look so festive in this Orange Cranberry Bread. What a treat to serve this holiday season!

Fresh cranberries and the orange juice and zest give this bread a wonderful flavor that is great with your morning coffee or tea.

I used the recipe from Two Peas and Their Pod blog, but added 1/4 cup chopped pistachios into the bread mixture and sprinkled a few on top of the orange glaze. My kind of breakfast!

Pumpkin Bread

Pumpkin Bread

Funny how there are some flavors we tend to only bake with during certain times of the year! I love pumpkin bread, but would never make it in March or June – but once the weather starts feeling like fall, I get hungry for pumpkin bread and muffins.

This is not the recipe we used growing up, but I know it is close -because it has 1 1/2 cups of oil in it! Since I only have it a few times a year, I go for flavor and texture over the healthy aspect.

Blend pumpkin, eggs, sugar and oil together with mixer. Whisk remaining ingredients together.

Gradually add the flour to pumpkin mixture until well blended.

Pour batter into greased and floured pans. (I spray mine with non-stick cooking spray and then sprinkle a bit of cinnamon and sugar in the pans – just adds a bit of extra spice. I don’t have trouble with the bread coming out, but can’t guarantee it won’t stick with this method.)

Bake about 50-55 minutes for large loaves, 30-35 minutes for medium and 20-25 for mini loaves. Let cool in pans about 10 minutes, then finish cooling on a cooling rack. I sprinkle just a bit of cinnamon and sugar over the top. Perfect gift to wrap up and share!

Delicious served warm – or toasted with a bit of butter! Perfect fall breakfast, snack or dessert!

Ingredients

  • 15 oz. can of 100% pure pumpkin
  • 4 eggs
  • 2 cups sugar
  • 1 1/2 cups oil (vegetable or canola)
  • 3 cups flour
  • 1 1/2 teaspoons cinnamon, plus more for dusting pan and topping, if desired
  • 1/2 teaspoon allspice
  • 2 teaspoons baking soda
  • 2 teaspoons baking powder
  • 1/2 teaspoon salt
  • Ground nuts can be added, if desired

Instructions

  • Preheat oven to 350 degrees. Grease and flour pan. (I lightly spray loaf pans with vegetable spray, then I sprinkle the pans with cinnamon and sugar to give a bit of extra spice.)
  • In a large bowl, blend pumpkin, eggs, sugar and oil together with mixer.
  • In a separate bowl, combine the rest of the ingredients and whisk together.
  • Gradually add the flour mixture to the pumpkin mixture until well blended.
  • Pour into prepared greased and floured pans.
  • Bake at 350 degrees:
    Mini Loaves ( 2 1/2 inches by 4 inches) – 25-25 minutes
    Small Loaves (3 inches by 5 1/2 inches) – 30-35 minutes
    Large Loaves (9 inches by 5 inches) – 50-55 minutes
    Check doneness with a toothpick, it should come out clean, with just a few crumbs.
  • Let cool in the baking pan for about 10 minutes, remove from pan and finish cooling on a cooling rack. I sprinkle just a little cinnamon and sugar over the top.
  • Delicious served warm, but I think the best way to eat pumpkin bread is toasted, with just a bit of butter. YUM!!! Enjoy!
