If you need a quick and easy breakfast option around the holidays, this Orange Glazed Cranberry Bread Recipe is the solution! This moist quick bread is bursting with tart cranberry flavor and the orange glaze adds the perfect blend of sweet citrus.
I absolutely love making quick breads. The flavors and ingredients can easily be changed to fit my needs. I use this basic quick bread recipe and switch out the type of dried fruit depending on my mood. Nuts can be added and the glaze can be made in a variety of different flavors.
Wrap up some loaves of this Orange Glazed Cranberry Bread for holiday gifts. Or enjoy it as a breakfast treat with the family.
I had the opportunity to use Baking PAM Spray. Not only does PAM Cooking Spray now leave up to 99% less residue buildup, but it ensures that your quick bread will slip right out of the loaf pan looking perfect. It’s a total bummer when you make homemade cake or bread only to have it stick to the pan, especially when you have hungry family members expecting a holiday treat. No need to worry about the ‘stick’ factor as long as you spray the pan with a generous coating of PAM! And that means you’ll be spending less time scrubbing sticky dishes too!

Another awesome way to use PAM Cooking Spray is to spray the measuring cup before filling it with honey. Then the honey slides right out of the measuring cup without a hassle. I use that trick a lot!
Back to this perfect loaf of Cranberry Bread. It is ready to be GLAZED!

I love hamburgers
That recipe looks great, I love this flavour combination!
However, I *much* prefer parchment paper over PAM. The stuff is great: less concern about potentially harmful chemicals/synthetics, and a wide variety of uses. Not only can you line baking pans with parchment paper, but you can also employ it in bread baking (specifically the overnight, yeasted no-knead variations), and when making your own pizza on a baking stone. Simply assemble your pizza on the paper, and lift the entire thing by the edges of the paper onto the stone. No need for a slider and no worry about sauce and goo running onto the stone.
Thanks Artemis! I have never had much luck using parchment paper. Not sure what I am doing wrong but everything tends to burn. I’m glad it’s working for you though 😀
