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
- ⅓ cup Orange juice
- ⅓ cup Vegetable oil
- 2 Large eggs
- 1 teaspoon Vanilla extract
- Zest of 1 Orange
- 1 ½ cups Fresh or frozen cranberries
- ⅔ cup Walnuts pecans, or pistachios, optional
Orange Glaze
- 1 ½ tablespoon Orange juice
- pinch Salt
- 1 cup Confectioners / Icing / Powdered Sugar
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.
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.
