You are going to love this keto orange cranberry bread, and it’s perfect for Christmas morning. Made with a fresh orange, fresh cranberries, it has a sweet and tart zing that brings brightness in the winter time. When cranberry season arrives, I buy several bags and freeze so I can make this throughout the year. 

Keto Orange Cranberry Bread

You might recall the muffin version for this, and now I want to show you how to turn this same recipe into two little loaves. 

Use a Whole Orange in this Recipe

Cut an orange in quarters and boil until softened 20-30 minutes. Once cooled this will go into your batter. Trust me on this. Your orange cranberry bread will be just right, moist and sweet with tart from the cranberries.

This screams holiday season for me and it’s quite pretty too.

Ingredients for Keto Orange Cranberry Bread

Why do I Make 2 Small Loaves instead of One Large Loaf?

I use these small loaf pans because almond flour tends to burn and get a little crusty if baked too long. Baking one large loaf may brown too much while cooking the necessary 45-50 minutes for a large loaf. Baking in smaller loaf pans only takes 25-30 minutes and each will yield 10 slices. The other loaf is perfect for the freezer or a friend.

Tips for Making Keto Orange Cranberry Bread

  • Beat eggs first until frothy
  • Add olive oil in slow stream
  • Add a cup of the orange mixture.
  • Mix all dry ingredients well before adding in.
  • Do a taste test. Microwave 20 seconds one teaspoon of batter.
  • Use parchment paper.
  • Bake small loaves.
  • Cool completely before glazing.

How to Make Glaze for Keto Orange Cranberry Bread

You will need a powdered sugar/sweetener to make the glaze. If you don’t have that on hand, you can take your erythritol of choice (such as Swerve or Lakanto) and put it in a super blender, such as a Vitamix, to grind it down to a powder. Mix with orange juice or water slowly, a teaspoon at a time, to about 1/2 cup powdered sweetener until you get the right consistency that you can drizzle. Make sure you drizzle over a cooled orange cranberry bread.

What Sweetener do I use for Keto Baking?

I use Swerve, a powdered erythritol. Read my article here on why I chose Swerve.

  • Add to Vitamix or super blender. Pulse until you have a texture of course puree, with a little bit of zest showing. You may need to add a little of the reserved water in bottom of blender.

  • Mix orange juice, water with Swerve Confectioner's for sugar free (or confectioner's of your choice, until you get a consistency you can drizzle. Drizzle over each muffin or on cranberry orange bread.

Notes

Swerve Confection: You can put Swerve (or Lakanto) into a Vitamix and pulse to make a confectioner’s sweetener.
You can skip the glaze and sprinkle with confectioner’s sweetener as an option.
