Directions
Cornmeal-Oatmeal Cranberry-Orange Loaf,My husband, being a true Texan, loves cornbread almost as much as he loves me. I was not a great cornbread baker, so I bought The Cornbread Gospels by Crescent Dragonwagon to learn how to make his tummy happy, and what a great book that turned out to be. Every form and fashion of cornbread you can imagine, and (almost) all good. This recipe is from that book, and has earned rave reviews everywhere I have taken it. It’s beautiful, and the essences of orange and cranberry combined with the crunchiness of stone ground cornmeal sets it apart from other quick breads, and it will leaving you wanting more. I hope you like it as well as we do.,This is such a nice recipe! I didn’t have walnuts or orange rind, so I just added more oats and orange extract instead. I made 12 muffins from the recipe, and so baked them at 300F for about 20mins. I was expecting them to be a little more yellow, but they turned more of a grey on the inside with the cranberry juices. So great though!
