Glazed Orange Bread

Glazed Orange Bread is full of fresh squeezed juice, baked to perfection, then covered with a sweet orange glaze. It’s the perfect quick bread!

Glazed Orange Bread is a super moist and delicious quick bread, that brings in memories of summer, but you can enjoy anytime. Now that Cuties are in season you can make this fresh Orange Bread and then enjoy it whenever you want! Today’s post is sponsored by Cuties, but all opinions are my own.

I have to say, my two boys are OBSESSED with Cuties. They can eat several at a time, and they love them in pretty much everything. Sweet, seedless and perfectly kid-sized, Cuties are a real crowd-pleaser. When you fill a bowl with easy-to-peel Cuties, you give your family a delicious, healthy choice they’re sure to love!  I always add them to my first grader’s lunchbox because they are easy for his little hands to peel, and him and my three year old have them for snacks after school. When I told Austin that I wanted to make a sweet glazed orange bread using Cuties, he was totally dying to help and try it!

Making the batter for the orange bread is pretty basic, and then you need to squeeze some of the juice from the Cuties for the glaze as well. Now that Cuties are back in stores, they are easy to find in the produce department! Once you whip up your batter, you are going to bake the bread, and then when it comes out of the oven you will pour this delicious orange sauce over the top.

Once that cools, you add the orange glaze- so yummy!

Slice the glazed orange bread and enjoy with coffee, a glass of orange juice, or hot cocoa! The kids love this orange bread, and they love munching on Cuties right along with it!

I’ve been loving the 100 Days of Sunshine campaign that Cuties has going on right now! Cuties help set forth positive
messages and examples for our kiddos and future generations to come as a healthy, convenient, and easy-to-love snack solution! Share a Cutie with someone you love! Make sure you hop over and follow Cuties on Instagram and Facebook too!
