Equipment

Ingredients
  

Brown sugar crumble:

  • ¼ cup brown sugar
  • 2 tbsp flour
  • 2 tbsp butter cold
  • 1/8 tsp cinnamon

Chocolate chip cranberry bread:

  • 2 cups flour
  • 2 tsp baking powder
  • ¼ tsp salt
  • ¾ cup milk
  • 8 tbsp butter
  • ¾ cup sugar
  • 1 egg
  • 1 cup cranberries
  • 1 cup chocolate chunks

Instructions
 

  • Preheat your oven to 350°F (175°C). In a large mixing bowl, whisk together the dry ingredients: flour, baking powder, and salt.
  • In another bowl, combine the egg, milk, melted butter, and sugar. Add the wet ingredients to the dry ingredients and mix until just barely incorporated; it's okay if there are a few streaks of flour.
  • Gently fold in the quartered cranberries and chocolate chunks until evenly distributed throughout the batter. Transfer the batter to the loaf pan, spreading it evenly.
  • In a bowl, combine brown sugar, cinnamon, flour and cut in cold butter until it is a crumbly mixture. Sprinkle the brown sugar crumble on top of the batter.
  • Bake in the preheated oven for approximately 60 minutes, or until a toothpick inserted into the center comes out clean.
  • Allow the chocolate chip cranberry bread to cool in the pan for about 15 minutes before slicing. Enjoy!

Notes

  • For a smoother batter, ensure that ingredients like eggs, milk, and butter are at room temperature before mixing. This helps with better incorporation and a more even texture.
 
  • When folding in cranberries and chocolate chunks, ensure they are evenly distributed throughout the batter for a balanced flavor in each slice.
 
  • When combining wet and dry ingredients, mix only until they are just incorporated. Overmixing can lead to a denser texture in the final product.
