How to Make Cranberry Chocolate Orange Loaves
- Preheat oven to 350°F (175°C).
- Lightly grease 6 mini loaf pans (approximately 6x3 inches) or 2 bundt pans.
- In a medium bowl, combine 1 cup fresh or frozen cranberries and 1/2 cup granulated sugar. Set aside.
- In a large bowl, whisk together 2 cups all-purpose flour, 1 1/2 cups granulated sugar, 2 teaspoons baking powder, 1 teaspoon baking soda, and 1/2 teaspoon salt.
- In a separate bowl, whisk together 2 large eggs, 1/2 cup orange juice, 1/2 cup vegetable oil, and the zest of 1 orange.
- Pour the wet ingredients into the dry ingredients and stir gently until just combined. Do not overmix.
- Fold in the cranberry mixture, 1 cup chocolate chips, and 1/2 cup chopped walnuts or pecans.
- Divide the batter evenly among the prepared mini loaf pans.
- Bake for 35-45 minutes, or until a wooden skewer inserted into the center comes out clean.
- Let the loaves cool in the pans for 10 minutes before transferring them to a wire rack to cool completely.
- For ultimate freshness, store refrigerated in an airtight container or freeze for up to 3 months.
