Cranberry orange loaf is a delicious and festive dessert that is perfect for the winter season. Not only is it visually appealing with its bright red cranberries and orange zest, but it also has a delicious and unique flavor that is sure to please. And when it comes to creating the perfect cranberry orange loaf, this may be the best recipe yet! That's right, my Best Ever Cranberry Orange Loaf is a sweet, delicious loaf that can be enjoyed for breakfast, dessert, or any tine of day!
Ingredients
For the Loaf:
- 2 Cups All-Purpose Flour or substitute oat flour to make this recipe gluten-free!
- 1 Cup Coconut Sugar
- 2 Teaspoons Baking Powder
- ½ Teaspoon Baking Soda
- 1 Tablespoon Cinnamon
- ½ Teaspoon Nutmeg
- 1 Cup Orange Juice
- 2 Tablespoons Orange Zest
- 1 Stick Unsalted Vegan Butter melted and cooled
- 1 ¼ Cups Fresh Cranberries
For the Icing:
- 1 Cup Powdered Sugar
- 3 Tablespoons Orange Juice
- 1 Tablespoon Orange Zest
Instructions
- Start by preheating your oven to 350 F.
- Next, add all of your dry ingredients to a medium bowl and whisk them together: the all-purpose flour, coconut sugar, baking soda, baking powder, cinnamon, and nutmeg.
- Then, add in your wet ingredients, being careful not to over mix them. If you over mix, your loaf will end up tough and dense!
- Gently fold in the cranberries, again being careful not to over mix them.
- Bake for 45-55 minutes, or until a toothpick comes out clean. Then, remove the loaf from the oven and let it cool completely.
- Once the loaf is cooling, prepare the icing by mixing together the powdered sugar, orange juice, and orange zest until a thick icing forms. You might need to add a touch more orange juice to bring the icing together.
- Finally, pour the icing over the loaf and slice it.
- Once done, serve and enjoy! Store any leftovers in an airtight container, in the fridge, for up to one week.
