This Keto Low Carb Cranberry Orange Bread is a staple during the holiday season. It’s so moist, delicious, and perfect with a cup of hot coffee.
One of my favorite loaves of bread besides pumpkin is Cranberry Orange Bread. There used to be a bakery close by, and I would stop there often to grab a delicious loaf to surprise my kids. Unfortunately, it closed down years ago, but my son has never forgotten his favorite bread. He’s been asking for weeks if I could make a homemade Cranberry Orange Bread, so I decided to make it a low carb version.
If you are already thinking, this bread is not keto-friendly because oranges are too high in carbs rest assured there were no actual oranges used in creating this recipe. Instead, I used pure orange extract, which worked perfectly along with fresh cranberries, which are low in carbs and high in fiber. Having never cooked with fresh cranberries, I wasn’t sure how this recipe was going to turn out since cranberries are so tart. I added a little extra Monkfruit Powdered as a coating, and it was the perfect amount.
Specialty Ingredients used to make Low Carb Cranberry Bread
- Coconut Flour – if you’d rather use almond flour, you’ll need 4x as much
- Lakanto Monkfruit Powdered – Swerve Confectioners, can be substituted
Low Carb Cranberry Orange Bread doesn’t require a lot of steps. It is a quick bread than even an inexperienced baker can easily make.
Since fresh cranberries are tart, I chopped them into smaller pieces then added Lakanto Monkfruit powdered sweetener before adding to the batter to help curb some of the tartness.
Add the cranberries to the batter. Fold in to combine the cranberries evenly in the bread. The batter will be very thick. This is normal. Cover the loaf pan with parchment paper to prevent sticking and to lift out easy to slice.
Spoon the glaze on top of the bread while it is still hot, so it will spread properly.
Yum! Slice and enjoy!
This Keto Cranberry Orange Bread is simple to make, flavorful, moist, and delicious. I wasn’t sure how well the orange extract would work in place of fresh orange juice and orange zest, but if I hadn’t made it, I would never know the difference. My son, who likes keto sweets the least, ate three pieces as soon as I was done photographing the recipe. He kept saying, “Mom, that is really really good, and I’m not just saying that since I’m your son. I promise I love it.” So, there you go right from the harshest keto critic in my family.
