1-Bowl Orange Cranberry Bread

1-bowl orange cranberry bread bursting with cranberries and citrus. Naturally sweetened, oil-free, and gluten-free. Perfect for a festive breakfast!

Does anyone else burn their tongue like *all* the time?

Last night I burned my tongue on some seriously good chili and today I’m paying the price of being *so* impatient. 

I could barely taste my matcha this morning as I sat on the couch to journal, running my tasteless tongue over my teeth in remorse. 

Let’s hope I have some taste buds left to enjoy this 1-Bowl Orange Cranberry Bread that’s new on the blog today!

This zesty festive loaf is perfectly sweet and tart with fresh squeezed citrus and whole cranberries. 

It comes together in one bowl in under one hour for a delicious breakfast, dessert, or snack.

Not only does it pack some powerful antioxidants and vitamin C, but it does so while being a total stunner.

Bright red cranberries and flecks of orange make for a beautiful bread that’s almost too pretty to eat.

Almost.

Bake Orange Cranberry Bread for the Holidays 

Get ready to swoon over these bursting cranberries and sweet citrus.

You know those holiday recipes you feel you can only appropriately enjoy in the weeks surrounding Christmas?

This is not that recipe situation.

I love how festive this bread is without being over the top holiday or Christmas-y, making it the perfect bread to enjoy all fall and winter.

The base is a gluten-free blend of almond and oat flour to makes a moist loaf that’s slightly nutty and study enough to slice into thick slabs.

It’s lightly sweetened with organic coconut sugar and fresh squeezed orange juice.

The addition of almond milk and almond butter keep this bread juicy and soft without any added oils!

What You Need to Make 1-Bowl Orange Cranberry Bread

Here’s what you need:

• ground flaxseed 
• gluten-free oat flour
• Eden Foods Oat Flakes
• almond flour
• organic coconut sugar
• baking powder
• fresh squeezed orange juice
• unsweetened almond milk
• creamy almond butter
• cranberries
• orange zest

That’s it!

Try Baking with Oat Flakes

Have you ever tried oat flakes before?

I was excited to use Eden Foods Oat Flakes in this recipe. 

These 100% whole grain oats are organically grown, gas fire roasted and rolled into versatile flakes.

Oat flakes are rich in fiber while also being a good source of protein, iron, and magnesium.

Try them in quick hot cereal, muesli, granola, desserts, grain and vegetable dishes, and baked goods.

Not to mention how great they taste in this orange cranberry bread mixed with an almond oat flour base!

How to Make 1-Bowl Orange Cranberry Bread

To begin this 1-Bowl recipe, we start with a big bowl!

In a mixing bowl, whisk up the ground flaxseed and filtered water and allow to gel for 5-10 minutes.

Next, add in the almond butter and orange juice and mix until well-incorporated.

I like to use fresh squeezed orange for this recipe, but OJ from a jug will work too. 

For the almond butter, make sure you use a creamy freshly opened jar for the best results.

Next, add in the almond and oat flour, oat flakes, coconut sugar, and baking powder and stir to combine.

Once the batter is well mixed, you can fold in the cranberries and mix again. 

Pour batter into prepared loaf pan and spread into an even layer.

Top with additional cranberries and orange zest, if desired, for a bright beautiful finish! 

Bake the 1-Bowl Orange Cranberry Bread for 50-60 minutes, until the bread is golden brown and firm to the touch.

No matter how good the bread smells, allow it to cool completely before slicing.

The bread will continue to set up as it cools. 

Plus, we don’t want any burnt tongues this holiday season! 

How to Serve 1-Bowl Orange Cranberry Bread

Enjoy a slice of this 1-Bowl Orange Cranberry Bread as a gorgeous festive bread this season.

Make a loaf to share with family and friends, or keep one all to yourself and steal slices from Christmas to New Years.

I used fresh cranberries in mine, but feel free to sub frozen cranberries in their place.

If you choose to sub another berry instead of cranberries, reduce the coconut sugar slightly.

The extra coconut sugar is necessary to offset the tartness of the cranberries in this version.

I love to top my loaf with more fresh cranberries and orange zest!

Enjoy!
