Cranberry/Orange muffin bread

[bearshorty]

This is actually a muffin recipe from Betty Crocker cookbook. I like making it as a bread more and I substitute Craisins for real cranberries because I like it sweet. Also sometimes I add a little vanilla.

Ingredients:

¾ cup milk (three-quarters)
¼ cup vegetable oil (one-quarter)
1 large egg
2 cups all-purpose flour
½ cup sugar (one half)
2 teaspoons baking powder
½ teaspoon salt (one half)
1 tablespoon grated orange peel
1 cup coarsely chopped cranberries

1. Heat oven to 400ºF. Grease the pan. (I use 9 x 5 or 8 x 4)

2. In large bowl, beat milk, oil, egg and orange peel with fork or wire whisk until well mixed. Stir in flour, sugar, baking powder and salt all at once just until flour is moistened (batter will be lumpy). Fold cranberries into batter.

3. Bake. The time will vary on whether it is glass pan or aluminum pan. Glass pan bakes almost twice as fast. Check after 25 minutes. It is ready when it is golden brown and when you insert a toothpick it comes out clean.

Yumm! THANK YOU :)

I used to make a box mix, but I don't like doing that anymore because of the extra stuff (that I can't pronounce) that they put in there. I've been wanting a good scratch recipe.
