Prep Time 10 minutes
Cook Time 55 minutes
YIELD 1 9in loaf

Ingredients

  • 1 ½ cups (200g) all-purpose flour, unbleached
  • ½ cup (60g) oat flour
  • 1 ½ teaspoon baking powder
  • ½ teaspoon baking soda
  • ½ teaspoon salt
  • ½ cup (120mL) honey
  • 2 large eggs
  • ½ cup canola oil or other flavorless oil (120mL)
  • ½ cup (123g) yogurt, vanilla or plain (add dash of vanilla extract if using plain)
  • ½ cup orange juice, freshly squeezed, strained
  • ½ cup dried or 1 cup fresh cranberries halved
  • ½ cup (100g) white chocolate chips

Instructions

  1. If using dried cranberries, in a small bowl, place the cranberries and pour the freshly squeezed orange juice over them. Set aside and let sit and soak for at least 10 minutes. This will be when you'll need them anyway!

  2. Preheat the oven to 350F/177C. Either line a loaf pan (9"x5") with parchment or butter & flour the pan.

  3. In a large bowl, whisk together the dry ingredients: flour, baking powder, baking soda, salt, and orange zest.

  4. In a medium bowl, whisk together honey, eggs, oil, yogurt (vanilla). Strain the cranberries out of the orange juice and add only the orange juice, whisk to combine. Fold in the cranberries and white chocolate chips.

  5. Pour batter into prepared loaf pan. Bake on the center rack for 50-55 minutes or until nicely browned and a toothpick inserted into the center comes out clean. If the top is browning too quickly, loosely place a layer of aluminum foil over the top of the bread.

  6. Remove from oven and cool in the pan for 30 minutes on a cooling rack. Remove bread and continue to cool on a cooling rack. It will slice best when it is fully cooled. Top with a sprinkle of powdered sugar, serve with a warm pat of butter.
