Description

Ingredients

• 1¾ cup high quality gluten free flour blend (I used GF Mamas Almond Flour blend)
• ½ teaspoon baking powder
• ¼ teaspoon baking soda
• ½ teaspoon salt
• ½ cup butter, softened (dairy-free butter sub like earth balance or melt works for dairy free)
• ¾ cup white sugar
• 2 eggs, room temperature
• zest from one orange
• 2 teaspoons vanilla
• ¼ cup orange juice (I used the juice from the orange I zested)
• ½ cup buttermilk (1½ teaspoons of vinegar with enough milk-of-your-choice to make ½ cup. Mix and let stand 5 minutes)
• 1 cup fresh (or frozen) cranberries
• 1 cup white chocolate chips (or DF dark chocolate if you are making it dairy free)
• ½-1 cup skinned and chopped hazelnuts (optional)

Directions

• Preheat the oven to 350F. Lightly grease and dust a 9x4 inch loaf pan with gluten-free flour (you can use a regular loaf pan, but will have to adjust the baking time.)
• Whisk together the gluten-free flour, baking powder, baking soda, and salt in a bowl and set aside.
• In a stand mixer, or in a bowl with heavy-duty electric beaters, cream together the butter and sugar until fluffy.
• Add the eggs one at a time, beating until smooth after each egg. Add the vanilla and orange zest.
• Add the flour mixture and mix until smooth.
• Add the orange juice and buttermilk and mix until combined.
• Fold in the cranberries, chocolate chips, and hazelnuts.
• Pour the batter into the prepared 9x4 loaf pan and bake for approx 75 minutes, or until a toothpick inserted near the center of the loaf comes out clean OR the bread springs back when lightly touched.
