Ingredients

  • 1 cup white sugar
  • 3/4 cup canola oil
  • 2 eggs
  • 1 cup buttermilk
  • 2 tsp orange zest
  • 2 & 1/2 cups all-purpose flour
  • 1/2 tsp baking soda
  • Pinch salt
  • 1 tsp cinnamon
  • 1 & 1/2 cups dried cranberries
  • 1 cup pistachios

Instructions

  • Preheat oven to 350 degrees F. Liberally grease a 9" loaf pan with cooking spray and set aside.
  • Meanwhile, in a large bowl, whisk together the sugar, oil, eggs and buttermilk. Add in the flour, baking soda, salt, and cinnamon until combined. Lastly, fold in the cranberries, orange zest and pistachios.
  • Pour the mixture into the prepared pan and spread in an even layer. Bake for approx. 50-60 minutes or until a toothpick inserted near the center comes out clean or with moist crumbs. Cool completely before cutting or serving. Feel free to glaze if you'd like, but I like it without!
