ALMOND-CRANBERRY QUICK BREAD



Almond-Cranberry Quick Bread image

Oh yum! Tender and slightly sweet, we adored this quick bread recipe. It's tart from the cranberries, but a little sweet from the almond extract. The flavor of the almonds is subtle put pairs surprisingly well with the cranberries. Plus, it's so very simple to make. Make it in a large loaf or as mini loaves as Linda suggests....

Time 1h10m

Number Of Ingredients 10

2 c all-purpose flour
1 1/4 tsp baking powder
1/2 tsp salt
2 large eggs
1 c sour cream
3/4 c granulated sugar
1/2 c canola oil
1/2 tsp almond extract
1 c sliced almonds
1 c cranberries (fresh or frozen) chopped

Steps:

  • 1. Add all the ingredients (except the cranberries) to a large mixing bowl. Mix well.
  • 2. Fold in the cranberries.
  • 3. Pour batter into a sprayed 8.5"x4.5" loaf pan OR you can use 3 mini loaves (5-3/4"x3-1/4").
  • 4. Sprinkle top with 2-3 Tbsp sliced almonds.
  • 5. Bake 350* for approx 55 minutes until golden brown. (For mini loaves, bake approximately 40 minutes.)

Tips:

  • Measuring Ingredients Accurately: Use a kitchen scale to measure ingredients, especially flour, sugar, and baking powder, to ensure precise measurements.
  • Room Temperature Ingredients: Bring butter, eggs, and milk to room temperature before mixing. This helps them blend smoothly and evenly.
  • Mixing: Avoid overmixing the batter. Overmixing can result in a tough, dense bread. Mix just until the ingredients are combined.
  • Baking Pan Preparation: Grease and flour the baking pan thoroughly to prevent the bread from sticking.
  • Oven Temperature: Preheat the oven to the desired temperature before baking. This ensures that the bread bakes evenly.
  • Baking Time: Check the bread for doneness a few minutes before the recommended baking time. Insert a toothpick into the center of the bread; if it comes out clean, the bread is done.
  • Cooling: Let the bread cool completely in the pan before transferring it to a wire rack. This helps prevent the bread from crumbling.

This Almond Cranberry Quick Bread is a delightful treat that combines the nutty flavor of almonds with the tartness of cranberries. It's perfect for breakfast, brunch, or as a snack.
