Here is a delicious vegan cranberry orange bread recipe for you to try this holiday. It pairs the tartness of cranberry with the sweet citrus flavor of orange juice and orange zest!


This would be a great quick bread recipe that will definitely leave you drooling more! What’s a quick bread, you ask? It’s one where there is no yeast in the recipe and no rise time, therefore making it a ‘quick’ bread.

The texture is quite similar to cakes, and people often call it a loaf cake as well. If you don’t mind waiting a little, here are couple of our popular bread recipes that contain yeast : The Best Vegan Challah Bread and Fluffy Focaccia Bread.

You will definitely need good cranberries and oranges for this. We had to throw out a couple of packets of frozen cranberries till we found one that was not too sour. I like a slight sour kick, but within reason. If it makes me flinch, then I know I should get rid of that batch.

With orange, its always a hit or a miss. Its either too sour or tad bitter, but no matter how the orange tastes like, you can still save the zest and use it later! We have half a sandwich bag of orange zest just sitting in the freezer at this point.

Tips
  • If you are using frozen cranberries, toss them in some flour before adding into the batter. This helps form a light layer of flour around the berries which in turn will absorb some of the berries’ moisture and reduce the chance of them from sinking in the batter. Without this, you end up with a layer of cranberries at the bottom of the bread.
  • Any leftover bread can be left at room temperature in an airtight container for a day or in the refrigerator for 5 days. You can even freeze for a month, but I can’t vouch for that since we finished off in two days. Haha!
