Ingredients:
- 1/2 cup J.Olive Co. Extra Virgin Olive Oil
- 3/4 cup granulated sugar organic
- 2 large eggs organic, room temperature
- 1 tsp vanilla extract
- 1/2 cup ricotta cheese
- 1 1/2 cup all purpose flour organic
- 1 pinch sea salt
- 1/2 tsp baking powder
- 1 tsp baking soda
- 1 1/2 cup cranberries (fresh organic)
For the Streusel Topping
- 4 Tbsp all-purpose flour
- 4 Tbsp granulated sugar organic
- 3 Tbsp cold or frozen butter
Directions:
-
Preheat your oven to 350 “F
-
In a mixing bowl whisk together the eggs, olive oil, vanilla, sugar, sea salt and ricotta cheese. Set aside.
-
In a separate bowl whisk together the flour, baking powder, and baking soda. Add it to the bowl with the wet mixture. Add the cranberries and using a spatula gently fold everything together.
-
Layer a loaf pan with baking wax paper and pour in the dough.
-
Quickly make the streusel topping by combining the sugar and flour together in a small bowl. Using a cheese grater, grate the cold butter on top and mix in using your fingertips, just until the mixture looks like wet sand. Move quickly so the butter doesn’t melt.
-
Sprinkle over the cranberry bread dough.
-
Bake in the preheated oven for 50 minutes to 1 hour, until a toothpick inserted in the center comes out almost clean.
