Clementine Cranberry Bread

Ingredients

1 2/3 C flour
2/3 C sugar
1 1/2 tsp baking powder
1/2 tsp baking soda
1/4 tsp salt
2/3 C clementine juice (about 8 baby clementines)
1/4 C vegetable oil
1/4 C milk
1 Tbs grated clementine zest
1 egg well beaten
1 ½ cups cranberries
2 tsp sugar
1/3 tsp cinnamon
3 Tbs honey, warm


Instructions

• Preheat oven to 350 degrees F. Grease and line a loaf pan, with parchment paper. Set aside.
• In a bowl, combine 2/3 C sugar, clementine juice and zest, oil and milk, until smooth. Whisk in the egg, until well blended. 
• In a separate bowl, combine the flour, baking powder, baking soda and salt. Pour into the wet ingredients, mixing until just about incorporated. Add in cranberries and mix until combined (do not over mix, or your bread will be dense). 
• Pour batter into prepared loaf pan. In a small bowl, combine 2 tsp of sugar, with the cinnamon. Sprinkle evenly over batter in loaf pan. Bake for 50-60 minutes; until a toothpick inserted in the center comes out clean.
• Warm the honey slightly in the microwave ( about 15 seconds). Once bread is cooked, baste the top with the warmed honey; using a basting brush. Let bread cool 15 minutes and remove from pan, onto a cooling rack. Cool completely before cutting.
