In a large mixing bowl, cream the butter and sugar together. Add the eggs, orange juice, orange zest, to the creamed sugar/butter.

Mix in the flour, baking powder, baking soda, and salt, and mix well. Fold in the cranberries and walnuts.

Pour the batter into a greased air fryer-safe pan.

Set the pan into the air fryer, and set the temperature to 320 degrees F, for 20 minutes.

When the time is up, place a toothpick in the loaf, and check to see that the toothpick comes out clean. If not, add another 5 minutes.

PRO TIPS FOR MAKING THIS RECIPE

• Grease your loaf pan generously with either butter or cooking spray so that you can remove the bread easily.
• To check to make sure your Cranberry Orange Bread is fully cooked, place a toothpick into the center of the bread before removing it from the Air Fryer.
• You can either use fresh, frozen (keep frozen) or dried cranberries or this recipe.
• Do not over mix; otherwise, you will end up with dense bread.
• If you want, you can add a simple powdered sugar icing to the top of the bread by mixing 1 cup of powdered sugar and 2-3 tablespoons of milk. Then drizzle over the bread.
• Since every air fryer is slightly different, the cooking time will vary, depending on your own model.
• For best results, use a mini loaf pan, which will fully cook your bread; otherwise, the center of the quick bread might not be cooked completely.

What Type of Cranberries Can You Use?

Due to the seasonality of cranberries, you can either use fresh, frozen or dried cranberries.

If you are using frozen, keep them frozen, and add them frozen to the batter.
