Cranberry Orange Pumpkin Bread Recipes

CRANBERRY-ORANGE PUMPKIN BREAD

Steps:

• Pre-heat oven to 350 degrees F. Grease a 8x4 inch loaf pan with oil and set aside.

• In a large bowl, combine wet ingredients: egg, pumpkin puree, oil, honey orange zest, and orange juice.

• Bake on the center rack in the center of the oven for 45-50 minutes, using a toothpick inserted into the center of the loaf to test doneness.
• Transfer bread to a cooling rack and whisk together your icing while the loaf cools.
