Mustard Free Classic Cranberry Walnut Bread

Bright orange zest, tart cranberries, and buttery toasted walnuts come together in a quick bread that feels festive enough for a holiday table but easy enough for any weekend bake. The batter comes together in two bowls with nothing fussy — just a gentle fold to keep the crumb tender and the loaf from turning tough. Every ingredient here is straightforward and naturally free of mustard in any form, so there's no need to scrutinize labels or worry about hidden condiment derivatives sneaking into your bake. Toasting the walnuts before folding them in is a small step that pays off big, deepening their flavor and adding a satisfying crunch against the jammy cranberry pockets. The orange juice does double duty, providing both moisture and a citrusy brightness that balances the tartness of the fruit beautifully. Let it cool completely before slicing — the texture sets as it rests, and the payoff is a clean, bakery-worthy slice that holds together perfectly.
