Equipment

  • Loaf pan

Ingredients

Cranberry Orange Bread

  • 1 cup Sorghum flour
  • ½ cup Light buckwheat flour
  • ¼ cup Coconut flour
  • 1 ½ teaspoon Baking powder
  • 1 teaspoon Xanthan gum
  • ½ teaspoon Baking soda
  • ¾ teaspoon Salt
  • 1 cup Granulated sugar
  • ½ cup Vanilla Yogurt
  • cup Orange juice
  • cup Vegetable oil
  • 2 Large eggs
  • 1 teaspoon Vanilla extract
  • Zest of 1 Orange
  • 1 ½ cups Fresh or frozen cranberries
  • cup Walnuts pecans, or pistachios, optional

Orange Glaze

  • 1 ½ tablespoon Orange juice
  • pinch Salt
  • 1 cup Confectioners / Icing / Powdered Sugar

Instructions

  • Preheat oven to 350 F. Grease 1 regular/large loaf pan, or line with parchment paper.
  • In a large bowl, whisk together flours, baking powder, xanthan gum, baking soda, and salt. Set aside.
  • In a separate bowl - a small or medium bowl - whisk together sugar, yogurt, orange juice, vegetable oil, eggs, vanilla, and orange zest until smooth and well combined.
  • Add the wet ingredients mixture to the mixing bowl of dry ingredients, along with the cranberries and nuts, if using. Use a wooden spoon or rubber spatula to stir just until combined.
  • Pour batter into prepared pan.
  • Bake for about 1 hour, or until crust is a rich golden brown, and knife inserted into middle of loaf comes out clean.
  • Once fully cooked, remove from oven, and let the bread cool on a cooling rack while you make the glaze:

Orange Glaze

  • Whisk together the orange juice and salt.
  • Add about the powdered sugar, a little at a time, whisking until smooth. You want it VERY thick, but you can add extra orange juice if you need.
  • Drizzle glaze over the warm loaf, allow to cool for at least 15-20 minutes before cutting - if you’ve got that kind of patience!
  • You can use a wire rack to help it cool faster, if you like.

Notes

Leftovers can be cooled to room temperature, wrapped in Saran wrap and stored in the fridge for 5 days or so.
Best served at room temperature or - ideally - warmer.
