Preparation Steps

  • Preheat oven to 350°F. Line an 8x4 inch loaf pan with parchment paper.
  • In a medium bowl, whisk together flour, baking powder, and salt. Set aside.
  • In a large bowl, whisk olive oil and granulated sweetener until combined. Add eggs and whisk until incorporated. Whisk in milk, vanilla extract, orange zest, and orange juice until smooth.
  • Sift dry ingredients into wet ingredients in two batches, folding gently to avoid overmixing. Toss cranberries with 2 tsp flour, then fold into batter just until combined.
  • Transfer batter to the prepared loaf pan and bake for 45-50 minutes or until a toothpick inserted in the center comes out clean.
  • Let the loaf cool in the pan for 10-15 minutes, then transfer to a wire rack to cool completely before glazing.
  • For the orange glaze, whisk together powdered sugar, fresh orange juice, and reserved orange zest in a small bowl until smooth.
  • Drizzle the orange glaze over the cooled loaf before serving.
