WHAT YOU NEED FOR THIS EASY CLEMENTINE DESSERT

  1. Butter: I always use salted butter in any of my recipes. That's a personal choice, use whatever kind of butter you like
  2. Sugar
  3. Egg yolk
  4. Clementines
  5. Vanilla
  6. Sour cream
  7. Flour: I just use regular all purpose flour. I have not tested this recipe with any other kind of flour
  8. Baking powder
  9. Baking soda
  10. Salt
  11. Powdered sugar

HOW TO MAKE EASY CLEMENTINE BREAD

  1. Preheat oven to 350 degrees F and grease a mini loaf pan
  2. Cream together butter and sugar until light and fluffy
  3. Add in the egg, zest, juice, vanilla, and sour cream, and continue to mix
  4. In a separate bowl, whisk together dry ingredients then gently fold them into the wet, careful not to overmix
  5. Pour the batter (it will be thick!) into the greased loaf pan and bake for 25-30 minutes, or until toothpick inserted into the center comes out clean
  6. Allow the loaf to cool in the pan for 15 minutes before turning it out
  7. Let cool completely before glazing
  8. For the glaze, whisk all ingredient together to form a thick, but pourable glaze and drizzle over top of the cooled loaf

EXPERT TIPS:

  • You can use oranges in place of the clementines
  • Swap out the sour cream for yogurt to make the bread a little lighter
  • Use your judgement when making the glaze, adjust the amount of juice as needed
  • You can double this recipe and bake a big (9x5) loaf. Just bake it for 50-55 minutes

    This looks delicious! I love citrus flavors! I am wondering, I just did my food shopping today for the next two weeks and bought a bag of naval oranges. Could those be used instead of clementines? 🙂

      Hi Roberta,
      I am so sorry I didn't list that! You'll need the zest of 1 clementine in the batter:)
      I'll be sure to go in and fix my recipe!
