Chocolate Chip Cranberry Bread

Source:  Taste of Home

2 cups all-purpose flour 

3/4 cup sugar 

2 teaspoons baking powder 

1/2 teaspoon salt 

1 large egg, room temperature 

3/4 cup 2% milk 

6 tablespoons butter, melted 

1 cup fresh or frozen cranberries, halved 

1 cup miniature semisweet chocolate chips 

STREUSEL: 

1/3 cup packed brown sugar 

2 tablespoons all-purpose flour 

1/8 teaspoon ground cinnamon 

2 tablespoons cold butter 

3/4 cup confectioners' sugar 

2 to 3 tablespoons whole milk 

 

 

 

1. Preheat oven to 325°. Line bottom of a greased 9x5-in. loaf pan with parchment; grease parchment. 

 

2. In a large bowl, combine the flour, sugar, baking powder and salt. Whisk the egg, milk and butter; stir into dry ingredients just until moistened. Fold in cranberries and chocolate chips. Transfer to prepared pan. 

 

3. In a small bowl, combine the brown sugar, flour and cinnamon; cut in butter until crumbly. Sprinkle over batter. Bake until a toothpick inserted in the center comes out clean, 60-65 minutes. 

 

 

4. Cool for 10 minutes; loosen sides of bread from pan. Cool completely before removing from pan. For the glaze, mix confectioners' sugar and 2 tablespoons milk until smooth; if needed, add additional 1 tablespoon milk to reach desired consistency. 

 

Drizzle glaze over top of bread; allow to sit 10-15 minutes before slicing.
