Preparation

Step 1

Preheat oven to 350 F. Grease a 9-by-5-inch loaf pan.

Combine eggs and brown sugar in a food processor and process until smooth. Add oil and diced orange. Process until orange is minced. Gradually add orange juice.

Mix oats, all-purpose flour, whole-wheat flour, baking powder, baking soda and salt in a large bowl. Stir in orange mixture just until blended. Let stand 15 minutes.

Combine cranberries and water in a medium bowl. Let stand 10 minutes. Drain well, shaking off excess liquid.

Fold cranberries into batter. Pour into loaf pan. Bake 50 to 55 minutes, until a wooden toothpick inserted in the center comes out clean. Cool 15 minutes in pan and remove to a wire rack to cool completely.
