Directions

Step 1

Preheat your oven to 350°F (175°C) and grease a 9x5-inch loaf pan or line it with parchment paper.

Step 2

In a large mixing bowl, combine the whole wheat flour, almond flour, baking powder, baking soda, salt, and ground cinnamon. Whisk until well blended and set aside.

Step 3

In a separate bowl, whisk together the unsweetened applesauce, orange juice, orange zest, egg, vanilla extract, and granulated erythritol or stevia blend until smooth and well combined.

Step 4

Slowly add the wet ingredients to the dry ingredients, stirring gently until just combined. Do not overmix.

Step 5

Fold in the chopped cranberries and almond milk until evenly distributed in the batter.

Step 6

Pour the batter into the prepared loaf pan and smooth the top with a spatula.

Step 7

Bake for 45-50 minutes, or until a toothpick inserted into the center comes out clean.

Step 8

Allow the bread to cool in the pan for 10 minutes, then transfer it to a wire rack to cool completely before slicing.

Step 9

Slice into 10 even servings and enjoy! Store leftovers in an airtight container in the refrigerator for up to 5 days, or freeze slices for longer storage.
