  • 2 cups of organic unbleached all-purpose flour or whole wheat pastry flour
  • 2 teaspoons of baking powder
  • 1/2 teaspoon of baking soda
  • 1/4 teaspoon of cinnamon
  • 1/8 teaspoon of nutmeg
  • 1/8 teaspoon of cardamom

  • 1 tablespoon orange zest

Instructions

  2. Add the dry ingredients to a large mixing bowl and whisk to combine.
  3. Mix all wet ingredients, except cranberries and orange zest, together in a mixing bowl. Add to the dry ingredients and mix until just combined.
  4. Fold in the cranberries and orange zest and stir a couple of times. DON’T OVERMIX!

  6. Remove from oven and let cool before slicing.

Notes

Keep your vegan orange cranberry bread fresh by storing it in an airtight container at room temperature for up to 3 days.

DO NOT use frozen cranberries. They’ll make the bread mushy as it cooks and that’s not good.

For longer storage, refrigerate for up to a week or freeze for up to 3 months. If freezing, wrap individual slices in plastic wrap and store them in a freezer-safe container.
