Vegan Cranberry Orange Bread

This cranberry orange bread recipe is great for fall baking or for holiday gifts! 

Vegan Cranberry Orange Bread Recipe! This bread is so delicious and perfectly moist. Great for gift-giving and the holiday season.

Cranberry + Orange + Ginger + Walnuts. If fall flavors had a baby, it would be this bread. Warm, cozy slices of tender cranberry bread is hands down my favorite way to ease into the day. I’ve made this bread exactly 4 times in the past two weeks because as soon as I finish the last slice, I’m craving it again.

I set out to make my favorite Cranberry Orange bread and then was immediately swayed by the need to add in ginger, and walnuts. If they didn’t go so perfectly together, it might be weird, but the moment you take a bite, you realize that cranberries and ginger were made for each other. #MFEO

Cranberry Orange Bread Batter

Our kitchen is slowly being put back together. This was the first weekend that we had moved in most of our stuff and I spent most of yesterday enjoying what I have been missing for months: putting on some music, making a giant mess with Van and baking till our hearts content.

I feel settled when my kitchen is open, my place to go and explore, enjoy and create. It’s very fun that V is now at an age where he enjoys a treat or two and we enjoyed a warm slice with almond butter for afternoon snack.

Gift a loaf of this Cranberry Orange Ginger Bread 

I’d like to make the motion that homemade bread is the most perfect hostess gift. As a fellow food lovers, I know you understand the anxiety when your host tells you not to bring anything. I refuse to show up to events empty handed, but I dislike putting any pressure on my host to serve my bottle of wine/side/dessert. So, bread for breakfast it is!

Wrapped, homemade bread is the perfect thing to arrive with. It’s a sweet way of saying, enjoy your evening, but don’t worry about breakfast the next day- have a slice of this and a cup of coffee instead.

To wrap, skip the plastic (it will make the bread gummy) or foil and opt for parchment/wax paper instead. Cut a length of wax paper about four times the width of your loaf, and place the bread in the center. Combine the ends of the paper together above the bread, then fold the paper down several times in two or three crisp folds until it’s flush with the top. If you have extra width on the sides, fold and tuck under. If not, trim off any excess so it’s flush with the bread, then secure with a pretty piece of twine and ribbon.

Scale

Ingredients

  • 2 cups all-purpose flour
  • 1.5 teaspoons baking powder
  • 1/2 teaspoon salt
  • 1/2 teaspoon baking soda
  • 1 teaspoon ground ginger
  • 3/4 teaspoon ground cinnamon
  • 1/4 cup butter or vegan butter (I love Earth Balance brand), melted
  • 1/4 cup sugar
  • 1/4 cup brown sugar
  • 1 teaspoon vanilla extract
  • 1 cup orange juice
  • 1 tablespoon white vinegar
  • 1 tablespoon ground flax seeds + 3 tablespoons water, combined to make a gel ‘egg’
  • 1/2 cup chopped walnuts
  • 1 cup chopped fresh cranberries

Instructions

  1. Preheat oven to 350 degrees F. Spray and lightly flour a 9×5 inch loaf pan and set aside.
  2. In a medium bowl, whisk together the flour, baking powder, salt, baking soda, ginger, and ground cinnamon.
  3. In a separate large bowl, beat together the butter and sugar until smooth. Stir in the vanilla, orange juice, vinegar and gelled flax egg. Slowly add in the in flour mixture until just moistened then stir in the walnuts and chopped cranberries.
  4. Pour into prepared pan. Bake for 55 minutes or until golden brown on top and toothpick comes out clean.

Notes

To make this bread vegan, I am using a flax egg in place of a regular egg. To create a flax egg, whisk together 1 tablespoon ground flax meal with 3 tablespoons water in a small bowl. Set aside to let gel slightly, about 5 minutes, while you prepare the rest of the ingredients.

      This looks incredible; I can almost taste it! Ok to use a regular egg here? Thanks.

        Yes– just replace the ‘flax egg’ mixture with a real egg. Thanks!

      This is very, very good! Your website is one of the best I’ve seen as well. The recipe is well-balanced between sweet and tart, nice rise during baking, and excellent crumb. Will make this again and again, plus bookmarking your site. Nice work! Thanks.

      Alex I just made this today for our Christmas cake. Changed it a bit. I used coconut sugar and date molases as I had no brown sugar, and used red wine vinegar. Also added red and green glacé cherries and chopped pistachios. It is Devine. Thank you. My family will enjoy tomorrow afternoon.

      Could I use gluten-free flour in this recipe?

      1. Alex
        December 15, 2019 AT 7:26 am

        I don’t see why not? I would use a 1:1 product like the one’s by Bob’s Red Mill!

      Hi Alex! Thanks for yet another yummy recipe! I’m wondering if I could substitute dried cranberries for the fresh ones.

      Thanks!

        yes, I’d just reduce the amount. Maybe 1/3 to 1/2 cup?
