  • In a large bowl, whisk together the flour, salt, and baking powder. In a small bowl, combine the sugar and orange zest. Whisk into the flour mixture. Set aside.
  • In a separate medium bowl, combine the buttermilk, oil, eggs, orange juice, and vanilla.
  • Slowly add the wet ingredients to the dry ingredients. Stir until just combined. Fold in the chopped cranberries. Pour batter into prepared loaf pan.
  • In a small bowl, mix streusel ingredients together until crumbly. Sprinkle evenly over the top of the bread batter.
