I have a 4-slot mini loaf pan from The Pampered Chef, which is where I found this recipe.  These are great for brunches.  Each slot on the mini-loaf pan holds about 1 1/2 cups...  I'll have to play around with this recipe so it will work with a regular sized loaf pan.
Ingredients (makes four mini loaves)
Bread:
3 cups unbleached all-purpose flour
1 1/4 cups sugar
1/2 tsp. salt
1 tbsp. aluminium-free baking powder
1/2 cup pecans, coarsely chopped
3/4 cup (1 1/2 sticks) butter, melted
1 orange
2 eggs
1 1/4 cup milk
1 cup dried cranberries
Glaze:
1/2 cup powdered sugar
1 tbsp. milk
Method:
1. Preheat oven to 350 degrees.  Lightly spray the bottom of the mini loaf pan with nonstick cooking spray; set aside.  In a large bowl combine flour, sugar, salt, and baking powder.  Chop pecans; add to batter bowl.  Mix well and set aside.
2. In a small bowl, microwave butter on HIGH for 45-60 seconds until just melted.  Zest orange to measure 1 tbsp zest.  Juice orange to measure 1/4 cup juice.  Add zest, juice, eggs, and milk to butter; whisk until combined.  Add butter mixture to dry ingredients; mix just until dry ingredients are moistened.  Do not overmix.  Gently stir cranberries into the batter.
3. Fill each well of the loaf pan with about 1 cup batter.  Top batter with additional pecan halves if desired.  Bake 40-45 minutes or until a toothpick inserted in the center of the loaves comes out clean and tops of loaves are golden brown.  Cool in pan for 5 minutes.  Loosen sides of loaves from pan; remove to cooling rack and allow to cool completely.
4. For glaze, mix powdered sugar and milk until smooth; drizzle evenly over cooled loaves.
