Cranberry Cheese Nut Bread

Ingredients:

2 1/2 cups all-purpose flour

1/2 cup sugar

1/2 cup brown sugar

3 1/2 teaspoons baking powder

1 teaspoon salt

3 tablespoons avocado oil (any neutral oil)

1 1/4 cup milk your choice (I used almond milk, but any kind is good)

1 egg

1 tablespoon + 1 teaspoon lemon zest(orange zest is good too)

1/2 cup chopped nuts

1 1/2 cups shredded cheddar cheese (6 oz)

1 cup cranberries, cut in halves

Instructions:

Heat oven to 350 degrees. Grease or line loaf pans with parchment paper (1) 9x5x3 or (2) 81/2x41/2x21/2) mix all ingredients until combined but don’t over mix. Pour into pan(s). Bake 9in for 55-65 minutes, 8in loaves for 55-60 minutes. Cool slightly and then remove from pans and cool completely before slicing…if you can wait!!
