2 eggs
2 1/3 cups flour
1 cup buttermilk
1 cup cranberries
3/4 cup sugar
1/2 cup canola oil
1/3 cup sour cream
1/3 cup tangerine juice
2 tablespoons tangerine zest
2 teaspoons poppy seeds
2 teaspoons baking powder
1/4 teaspoon salt
Directions:
Preheat oven to 350F. Grease and flour or spray with baking spray 1 loaf pan or one mini loaf pan that makes 4 one cup loaves. Whisk together flour, sugar, baking powder, poppy seeds, baking powder and salt in a large bowl. In separate bowl, whisk together the zest, egg, oil, juice, sour cream and buttermilk until smooth. Add the wet ingredients to the dry ingredients and mix until a uniform batter forms. Fold in the cranberries. Pour into prepared pan. Bake about 30 minutes (in either sized pan) or until a toothpick inserted in the middle comes out clean. Cool 5 minutes in the pan on a wire rack, then remove to cool completely.
My thoughts:
I bought this mini loaf pan a while back and was excited to finally use it! I had the worst time finding the right pan. I wanted one pan with wells rather than separate small pans. I didn’t want to make tiny individual sized loaves. I also didn’t want to have to scale down my recipes in a complicated way or if I shared recipes for it, I didn’t want to have to force people to buy a specific pan. You wouldn’t believe how widely the mini loaf pans varied in size, shape and design. I decided on this one because it has four, one cup wells. A standard loaf pan holds 4 cups. That way I could make any recipe I’ve made in a standard pan in it and vice versa. I love that the loaves are big enough to share and get several good slices out of it. The loaves cooked very evenly and slide out of the pan easily.
I’ve been making a homemade gift for our neighbors for the last couple of years (different flavored nuts and then mustard) and this year I thought I’d bake a trio of quick breads to give, two sweet and one savory. The best part is that since I give three neighbors gifts and the pan makes 4 loaves of bread, we get to keep a loaf of each! I love tangerines and they are at their peak right now. They were very sweet so I paired them with tart cranberries to keep it from wandering too far into cake territory.
that looks delicious!
this looks really really good!
could you make this minus the poppy seeds? I have everything but that at the house. What do you think?

I think it would be fine.

Pretty and festive looking bread with great holiday flavours
What a cute little loaf! A They look so yummy too!
Perfect timing! I've been looking for a recipe to use up some of the tangerines I have. This one looks good! Thank you!
I've made this recipe 3 times now and everyone loves it! It's so moist and extremely tasty!
