Ingredients Method Notes

Ingredients
  

  • 2 cups all-purpose flour
  • 1 tsp baking soda
  • 1/2 tsp baking powder
  • 1/2 tsp salt
  • 1/2 tsp cinnamon
  • 3/4 cup granulated sugar
  • 2 large eggs
  • 1/2 cup plain whole-milk yogurt
  • 1/3 cup neutral oil
  • 1 tsp vanilla extract
  • 1 cup dried cranberries
  • 3/4 cup walnuts, roughly chopped

Method
 

  1. Heat oven to 350°F (175°C). Grease and line a 9x5 inch loaf pan with parchment. Whisk together the flour, baking soda, baking powder, salt, and cinnamon in a large bowl.
  2. In a medium bowl, whisk the sugar, eggs, yogurt, oil, and vanilla for about 30 seconds until smooth.
  3. Pour the wet mixture into the dry ingredients and fold with a spatula until just combined, about 15 to 20 strokes. Fold in the dried cranberries and walnuts with 3 to 4 more strokes.
  4. Scrape the batter into the prepared pan and bake at 350°F (175°C) for 55 to 60 minutes, until a toothpick inserted in the center comes out clean or an instant-read thermometer reads 200 to 205°F (93 to 96°C).
  5. Cool in the pan for 10 minutes, lift out using the parchment, then cool on a wire rack for 30 minutes before slicing. Arrange slices on a board with extra walnuts and cranberries scattered around them.

Notes

This loaf slices much more cleanly once it has cooled for at least 30 minutes. If you want to serve it warm, cut individual slices and warm them separately rather than slicing the whole loaf hot. The batter also works in a 12-cup muffin tin at the same temperature; start checking at 20 minutes.
