Now, I don't really have an interesting story as to where I got this recipe, but you will be glad to know that it is not from any sources at America's Test Kitchen! In fact, it's from Baking Bites, one of my favorite blogs. I had been meaning to make the recipe for a while, and I'm glad that I finally got around to baking this loaf.
The quick bread is very low in fat, with only two tablespoons of canola oil and one egg. I halved the recipe and made it in an 8x4 loaf pan, and it came out great. Not dry at all, but not too dense or heavy, and it comes together in just minutes. I definitely recommend trying this Orange Cranberry Bread the next time you make a cup of tea or want something special for breakfast, dessert, or a snack.
