How to Make Cranberry Pumpkin Bread

Preheat oven to 350°F (175°C). Grease and flour two 8x4 inch loaf pans.
In a large bowl, whisk together 2 large eggs, 1 (15 ounce) can pumpkin puree, and 1/2 cup vegetable oil.
In a separate bowl, whisk together 2 cups all-purpose flour, 1 teaspoon baking soda, 1 teaspoon baking powder, 1 teaspoon ground cinnamon, 1/2 teaspoon ground ginger, 1/4 teaspoon ground cloves, 1/2 teaspoon salt, and 1 1/2 cups granulated sugar.
Gradually add the dry ingredients to the wet ingredients, mixing until just combined. Be careful not to overmix.
Gently fold in 1 cup fresh or frozen cranberries.
Divide the batter evenly between the prepared loaf pans.
Bake for 50-60 minutes, or until a wooden skewer inserted into the center comes out clean.
Let the bread cool in the pans for 10 minutes before transferring to a wire rack to cool completely.
