Ingredients

250g/2 cups all purpose flour
200g/1 cup white sugar
1 ½ tsp baking powder
½ tsp baking soda
½ tsp salt
250ml/1 cup Greek yogurt or plain yogurt full fat
60ml/1/4 cup milk whole or 2%
60ml/1/4 cup orange juice from 1 clementine orange/ a mandarin orange
60ml/1/4 cup vegetable oil
2 eggs large
2 tsp vanilla
orange zest from 1 clementine or a mandarin orange
150g/1 ¼ cup cranberries fresh or frozen or dried (see recipe notes)

For the orange glaze

60g/1/2 cup icing sugar/powdered sugar
2 tbsp orange juice

Instructions

Preheat oven to 350F/180C. Grease your 5"X9" (1.5 Qt./1.5 L) loaf pan.
In a large bowl combine flour, sugar, baking powder, baking soda and salt.
In a smaller bowl whisk yogurt, milk, orange juice, oil, vanilla extract, orange zest and eggs.
Pour the wet mixture into the dry mixture and combine until blended, then gently fold in cranberries.
Pour the mixture into the loaf pan and bake for 60-65 minutes until the cake tester comes out clean. Cool on a wire rack for 30 minutes, then remove from the pan.
Prepare the glaze by mixing icing sugar and orange juice in a small bowl. Pour the glaze over the top of the warm bread. Let it cool completely before slicing.

Notes

You can substitute fresh or frozen cranberries with dried ones. soak them in 1 cup/250ml of orange juice or water for 30 minutes to 1 hour before adding to the batter. Drain well before mixing them in.
Glaze the bread while it's still warm, so it absorbs the flavour!
