Cranberry Clementine Bread

In the past I have confessed my love of clementines, so you can imagine when I saw a loaf of Cranberry Clementine Bread at a local coffee shop, I had to recreate it at home. What a perfect seasonal breakfast loaf! It’s tart and sweet, and is wonderful with delicious butter smoothed on top. Perfect for serving at a Christmas Brunch or as a nice treat with a cup of tea in the afternoon.

Instructions
  1. Preheat oven to 350°F

  3. Chop the cranberries or puree them with clementine pieces in a food processor.
  4. Heat orange juice in a microwave for a few seconds in a large microwavable bowl or heat in a small sauce pan (if you don't have a microwave like me).
  5. Add the butter and sugar and stir until the butter melts and the sugar is all dissolved. Stir in the chopped fruit and egg.
  6. In a medium bowl, stir together the flour, baking powder, salt and baking soda.
  7. Add the dry ingredients to the wet ingredients and stir until just combined.
  8. Pour into a greased loaf pan. Bake for 35-45 minutes or until a toothpick inserted in the center comes out clean. Let cool for 10 minutes and then remove from pan to cool completely on a wire rack.

    Thanks! My son enjoyed the pumpkin and spice additions but I’ll have to try it again using this version!

    This loaf has a very distinctive whole wheat flavor… I think it would have more potential if only all purpose flour was used and perhaps just use the contents of the orange instead of the clementines… I might try baking this again with the above suggestions.
