White Chocolate Cranberry Loaf Instructions

• Begin by preheating the oven to 375. Grease a loaf pan with non-stick baking spray or line it with baking paper. You can spay the baking paper with baking spray to keep the loaf from sticking to the paper.
• Before making your batter, you will want to soften your cranberries. Bring a medium saucepan to medium heat. Add one tablespoon of butter. Once the butter melts, add the cranberries and cook, stirring, until they are soft but not mushy (about 5 minutes). Remove the pan from the heat and set the cranberries aside to cool.
• Using a large mixing bowl, combine your milk, melted butter, baking soda, baking powder, vanilla, sugar, and salt together. Once well combined, add the flour and mix until a smooth batter is formed. Fold in your white chocolate chips and softened cranberries.
• Transfer the white chocolate cranberry bread dough into the loaf pan and bake for 45-50 minutes or until it has completely risen through the center. You will know your bread is done when you stick a toothpick into the center of it and it comes out clean. The loaf should also be golden on top.
• Remove the loaf from the oven and allow it to cool in the loaf pan for 5-10 minutes. Then, remove it from the loaf pan (carefully) and let it rest on a wire rack. While it rests, you can make your vanilla frosting.
• To make the vanilla frosting, you will need to mix the powdered sugar, soft butter, almond milk, and vanilla together with a whisk or electric hand mixer.
• Frost the loaf once it has cooled and top it with additional white chocolate chips. Enjoy!
