    1. Preheat oven to 350°F (180°C). Lightly coat an 8 1/2-inch x 4 1/2-inch (22 cm x 11 cm) loaf pan with vegetable cooking spray or shortening.
    2. Place cranberries into the Vitamix container and secure the lid.
    3. Select Variable 4. Pulse 3 or 4 times. Stop; scrape sides, and replace the lid. Pulse a few more times to coarse chop. Remove to small bowl.
    4. Place orange, orange peel, oil, milk, sugar, egg, and vanilla into the Vitamix container in the order listed and secure the lid.
    5. Start the blender on its lowest speed, then quickly increase to its highest speed. Blend for 20 seconds, using the tamper to push ingredients toward the blades.
    6. Combine baking powder, baking soda, salt, (optional), and whole wheat flour in a large mixing bowl; stir well.
    7. Pour orange mixture into the dry ingredients, mixing by hand just until ingredients are moistened. Stir in chopped walnuts and cranberries; do not over mix.
    8. Spread the batter in the prepared loaf pan.
    9. Place in preheated oven and bake for 55-60 minutes or until a knife inserted into the center comes out clean. Cool on wire rack for 30 minutes, then carefully remove from loaf pan and allow to cool completely before slicing.
