Ingredients

Servings8

1 1/2 cups gluten-free all-purpose flour blend (with xanthan gum)
1/2 cup almond flour
1 teaspoon baking powder
1/2 teaspoon baking soda
1/4 teaspoon salt
3/4 cup coconut sugar or brown sugar
2 large eggs
1/2 cup plain Greek yogurt (or unsweetened dairy-free yogurt for dairy-free option)
1/3 cup fresh orange juice
1 tablespoon orange zest (from about 1 medium orange)
1 teaspoon vanilla extract
1/2 cup fresh or frozen cranberries (if frozen, do not thaw)
2 tablespoons melted coconut oil or vegetable oil
Optional glaze
1/2 cup powdered sugar mixed with 1 tablespoon fresh orange juice

Instructions

Preheat your air fryer to 320°F (160°C) for 3–5 minutes.
In a large bowl, whisk together gluten-free all-purpose flour, almond flour, baking powder, baking soda, salt, and coconut sugar until well combined.
In a separate bowl, beat the eggs, then stir in Greek yogurt, fresh orange juice, orange zest, vanilla extract, and melted coconut oil until smooth.
Pour the wet ingredients into the dry ingredients and fold gently until just combined; avoid overmixing to keep the loaf tender.
Slowly fold in the cranberries, evenly distributing them throughout the batter.
Lightly grease an 8-inch (20cm) loaf pan or silicone mold that fits into your air fryer basket.
Spoon the batter into the prepared pan and gently spread it evenly.
Place the loaf pan carefully into the air fryer basket and cook at 320°F (160°C) for 25–28 minutes, or until a toothpick inserted in the center comes out clean. Rotate the pan halfway through cooking for even browning if your air fryer requires it.
Remove the loaf from the air fryer and let it cool in the pan for 10 minutes, then transfer to a wire rack to cool completely.
For an optional citrus glaze, whisk together powdered sugar and fresh orange juice and drizzle over the cooled loaf for added sweetness and aroma.
Slice and serve warm or at room temperature. Store leftovers in an airtight container at room temperature up to 3 days or refrigerate up to one week.

Storage
