Low Carb Orange Cranberry Loaf Bread
Many vintage American recipes transfer well to the Keto diet! Have you been craving grandmas orange-cranberry bread and muffins? This almost-copy-cat recipe will satisfy you. You can use regular granulated Stevia or another similar Keto sweetener in place of white sugar. To make the sweet vanilla glaze that goes on top, you will need Swerve powdered sweetener or a similar brand. You can find these Keto sweeteners in the specialty section of the baking aisle in your grocery store. The star of this recipe is the fresh orange zest you include in the batter. A single orange can supply enough flavor that won’t add many carbs. Slice and enjoy your orange cranberry loaf bread after a fatty Keto dinner to end the day.
How to Make It
Step 1
Preheat the oven to 350 degrees. In a large mixing bowl, whisk together the eggs, egg whites, stevia, vanilla, greek yogurt, and orange zest. Melt the butter and whisk into the bowl. In a separate bowl, sift together the flour, baking powder, and salt. Whisk the dry ingredients into the wet ingredients and temporarily set aside.
Step 2
Line a bread loaf pan with parchment paper. Use a spatula to fold the dried cranberries into the batter. Then, immediately pour the batter into the lined pan. Spread the batter and smooth it over if needed. Bake the loaf for 50 minutes, using a toothpick to test for doneness. After baking, let the loaf cool for about 5 minutes. Then, lift it out of the pan and allow it to continue cooling.
Step 3
While the bread is baking, you will want to make the sweet vanilla glaze. Melt the butter and pour it into a small mixing bowl. Whisk the vanilla and Swerve into the butter until you have a chunky paste. Then, whisk in the heavy cream only ¼ teaspoon at a time. Only whisk in heavy cream until you have a smooth but thick glaze. After you lift the finished orange cranberry bread loaf out of the pan to finish cooling, spoon the glaze onto the bread. As the heat from the loaf melts the vanilla glaze, use the back of a spoon to spread it over the top. Slice for serving once the glaze cools to a sticky texture.
