This cranberry quick bread has a few components: the batter, streusel and a glaze. Each, though, is simple to make, and once assembled this loaf is as impressive as it is easy. Plus, it can double as a dessert!
Ingredients :
2 cups all-purpose flour
3/4 cup sugar
2 teaspoons baking powder
1/2 teaspoon salt
1 large egg, room temperature
3/4 cup 2% milk
6 tablespoons butter, melted
1 cup fresh or frozen cranberries, halved
1 cup miniature semisweet chocolate chips
STREUSEL:
1/3 cup packed brown sugar
2 tablespoons all-purpose flour
1/8 teaspoon ground cinnamon
2 tablespoons cold butter
3/4 cup confectioners’ sugar
2 to 3 tablespoons whole milk
Directions :
Preheat oven to 325°. Line bottom of a greased 9×5-in. loaf pan with parchment; grease parchment.
In a large bowl, combine the flour, sugar, baking powder and salt. Whisk the egg, milk and butter; stir into dry ingredients just until moistened. Fold in cranberries and chocolate chips. Transfer to prepared pan.
In a small bowl, combine the brown sugar, flour and cinnamon; cut in butter until crumbly. Sprinkle over batter. Bake until a toothpick inserted in the center comes out clean, 60-65 minutes.
Cool for 10 minutes; loosen sides of bread from pan. Cool completely before removing from pan. For the glaze, mix confectioners’ sugar and 2 tablespoons milk until smooth; if needed, add additional 1 tablespoon milk to reach desired consistency. Drizzle glaze over top of bread; allow to sit 10-15 minutes before slicing.
