- Bread
1.5 cups almond flour (packed)
1/3 cup coconut flour
1/4 cup coconut sugar
1 tsp baking soda
1/2 tsp cinnamon
1/4 tsp salt
3 eggs, room temperature
1/4 cup honey
3 tbsp butter, melted and cooled (dairy free, if needed)
1/2 cup orange juice (fresh squeeze or no sugar added)
zest of 1 large orange
1/4 tsp vanilla extract
3/4 cup fresh cranberries, diced
1/3 cup optional chopped walnuts
- Glaze
1/2 cup powdered sugar
1 tbsp orange juice
1 tsp orange zest
Directions
- Preheat oven to 350°F. Line a bread pan with parchment paper and coat with nonstick cooking spray.
- In a large bowl, combine dry ingredients: almond flour, coconut flour, coconut sugar, baking soda, cinnamon and salt.
- In a separate bowl, combine wet ingredients: eggs, melted butter, honey, orange juice, orange zest, and vanilla extract.
- Add dry ingredients to wet and mix until just combined. Fold in cranberries (and walnuts, if using).
- Add batter to prepared loaf pan. Spread out evenly, smoothing out the top.
- Bake for 40-50 minutes, or until toothpick comes out clean.
- Allow loaf to completely cool, remove from the pan, and transfer to a wire rack.
- Make the glaze: whisk powered sugar, orange juice and orange zest until smooth. You might have to add a little more orange juice to thin out the glaze but we want her thiqqq. Drizzle on top of the loaf. Allow it to dry completely before cutting.
- Store in an air tight container at room temperature.
