Cranberry Chocolate Chip Bread

    This Cranberry Chocolate Chip Bread is sure to be a holiday favorite.  It's delicious for breakfast or a snack and pairs beautifully with either coffee or hot cocoa.

       The bright red cranberries in this bread makes the loaf look so lovely.  The cranberries are just tart enough to the sweetness of the chocolate chips to make a great combination.  Most people at first are not sure about the combination but it really does taste super good.  It is good enough that I will make this through out the year and not just for the holidays.  This recipe will make 2 large loaves and one mini loaf.  I gave the mini one to my mother-in-law and she loved it.  She said she wouldn't be mad if I brought her another one real soon.  :-)  

Cranberry Chocolate Chip Bread

4 c. flour

2 c. cranberries

2 c. chocolate chips

1 3/4 c. sugar

1 1/2 c. orange juice

1/2 c. softened butter

2 eggs

1 T. baking powder

1 T. vanilla

1 tsp. baking soda

1 tsp. salt

      Preheat your oven to 350 degrees.  Spray two 8"x4" loaf pans and one mini loaf pan with cooking spray.

      In a large bowl, stir together the flour, sugar, baking powder, baking soda and salt. In a separate bowl, whisk together the orange juice, butter, eggs, and vanilla.  When well combined, stir it into the flour mixture.  Once well mixed, fold in the cranberries and chocolate chips. 

   

      Pour the batter into the prepared pans.  Bake for 50 minutes or until a toothpick inserted into the middle of the bread comes out clean.  The mini loaf pan will be done earlier (check after 30 minutes).
