Orange Cranberry Bread

A fun and different quick bread recipe, you’re going to love Orange Cranberry Bread.
orange cranberry bread2 Welcome to day 3 of Lucy and my quick bread mini-series! It’s so funny, because we didn’t even mean to put together 3 posts on quick breads, and didn’t realize it until they were all ready to go!  If you missed the others, check out my Greek Yogurt Banana Bread and Lucy’s Lemon Berry Greek Yogurt Bread, along with today’s Orange Cranberry Bread.

This recipe for Orange Cranberry Bread is one that I learned when I took 4-H cooking one year. I have no idea where the recipe came from, but I liked it, so I continued making it.  I love the combination of oranges, cranberries, and pecans, and I love that this bread satisfies my sweet cravings, without being too sweet.
