Vegan Orange Cranberry Quick Bread

After Thanksgiving, I have a few things left over that I need to purge from refrigerator or pantry. And cranberries are usually one of those ingredients. Instead of making cranberry sauce, I bake with them and make vegan orange cranberry quick bread. It’s an orange sweet bread with a little bit of tart from the cranberries. That’s easy to make and a great way to get rid of leftover cranberries from Thanksgiving. Also a great holiday breakfast or a teatime snack. So if you’re working your way through a bag of cranberries, then consider giving this recipe a try. You can make it for yourself or as a gift for family or friends.

Notes

• You can store your bread in an airtight container on the counter for up to 3 days, or the refrigerator for up to 1 week. Also, you can freeze your bread. Store it in a freezer-safe container for up to 2 months, let thaw in the refrigerator before eating.
• This bread will only get better the next day, once it’s had time to rest, it will moisten up and enhance the flavor. Also, it will slice much cleaner once completely cooled, so try not to slice it right away, and remember that it will not slice as clean and that’s normal.
