Christmas Cranberry Loaf Directions
- Preheat your oven to 350°F (175°C). Grease a 9x5 inch loaf pan with cooking spray and lightly flour it.
- In a large bowl, whisk together the whole wheat flour, sugar substitute, baking powder, baking soda, and salt.
- Add the unsweetened applesauce to the flour mixture and mix until well combined.
- In a separate bowl, combine the orange juice, orange zest, vanilla extract, and egg white. Beat well.
- Slowly add the wet ingredients to the dry ingredients, stirring just until moistened. Be careful not to overmix.
- Gently fold in the chopped cranberries.
- Pour the batter into the prepared loaf pan, spreading it evenly.
- Bake for 60-70 minutes, or until a toothpick inserted into the center comes out clean.
- Let the loaf cool in the pan for about 10 minutes, then transfer it to a wire rack to cool completely before slicing.
