Homemade WW Cranberry Orange Bread

ingredients:

• 1 cup all-purpose flour
• 1 cup whole wheat flour
• 1/2 cup granulated sugar
• 1/4 cup brown sugar, packed
• 1 teaspoon baking powder
• 1/2 teaspoon baking soda
• 1/2 teaspoon salt
• 1/4 cup unsweetened applesauce
• 1/4 cup non-fat Greek yogurt
• 2 large eggs
• 1/4 cup orange juice
• Zest of 1 orange
• 1 cup fresh cranberries, chopped
• Cooking spray

instructions:

1. Preheat Oven and Prepare Pan:
   • Preheat your oven to 350°F (175°C). Lightly coat a 9×5-inch loaf pan with cooking spray.
2. Mix Dry Ingredients:
   • In a large mixing bowl, whisk together the all-purpose flour, whole wheat flour, granulated sugar, brown sugar, baking powder, baking soda, and salt until well combined.
3. Combine Wet Ingredients:
   • In a separate bowl, mix together the unsweetened applesauce, non-fat Greek yogurt, eggs, orange juice, and orange zest until smooth.
4. Combine Wet and Dry Ingredients:
   • Pour the wet ingredients into the bowl with the dry ingredients. Stir until just combined, being careful not to overmix. The batter will be thick.
5. Add Cranberries:
   • Gently fold in the chopped fresh cranberries until evenly distributed throughout the batter.
6. Transfer to Pan:
   • Pour the batter into the prepared loaf pan and spread it out evenly.
7. Bake:
   • Place the loaf pan in the preheated oven and bake for 50-60 minutes, or until a toothpick inserted into the center comes out clean.
8. Cool:
   • Allow the cranberry orange bread to cool in the pan for 10 minutes, then transfer it to a wire rack to cool completely.
9. Slice and Serve:
   • Once cooled, slice the bread into thick slices and serve. Enjoy it plain or with a light spread of butter or cream cheese, if desired.
10. Store:

• Store any leftovers in an airtight container at room temperature for up to 3 days, or in the refrigerator for up to a week. You can also freeze individual slices for longer storage.
