    What I love about this bread besides the wonderful flavor and beautiful color, is the texture!  Using both almond flour and oat fiber really gives it that traditional texture that you'd find in recipes using regular flour. So you'd never know it was both a Keto friendly and gluten-free bread!

    The combination of cranberries and orange in this recipe is so nice!  In fact I often add orange zest or juice to other recipes that I make using cranberries, it just creates a great balance of flavors.

    Cranberries are one of several fruits that are perfectly ok to enjoy on a Keto diet.  I've made several recipes including Cranberry Orange Scones, Homemade Cranberry Sauce, Cranberry Sauce & Walnut Muffins and Cranberry & Walnut Crumble Bars!  Give this Low Carb cranberry bread a try and you'll want to add it to your list of cranberry recipes to make every fall!

    Bake for 40-45 minutes, or until a toothpick, when inserted comes out clean.  Mine took exactly 45 minutes.

    While the loaf is cooling, mix together the ingredients for the orange glaze and drizzle over the top of the loaf before serving.

    Tips for Making the Best Cranberry Orange Keto Bread

    Using a blend of Almond Flour and Oat Fiber works so well in giving you a similar texture to traditional baked goods. 

    The sweetener that I use is Swerve Confectioners, but you can use powdered Erythritol or a Monk Fruit/Erythritol Blend instead.

    Instead of using a loaf pan, you could make these into cranberry orange muffins if you wanted to.  Just be sure to adjust the cooking time down quite a bit.  It would likely take somewhere around 25 minutes or so to cook them through using Silicone Baking Muffin Cups.

    I use orange extract to give this bread a little more orange flavor, but if you don't have any on hand you can just omit it or add more orange zest.  I wouldn't omit the orange zest however, it really gives a nice balance to the cranberries without adding extra carbs.

    Are Cranberries Keto?

    Certainly!  Cranberries are so healthy and contain fiber, Vitamin C, E, K1 and Manganese.  For more information on the healthy benefits of cranberries, read this article!  Cranberries are absolutely perfect in making these sugar-free cranberry scones!

    How Many Carbs in Cranberries?

    There are 7.6 net carbs in one cup of raw unsweetened cranberries and this recipe uses 2 cups.  But split amongst 10 servings, the impact is just over 1 carb for each serving, so it's really minimal.

    What is Oat Fiber? Is Oat Fiber Keto?

    Oat Fiber is made from grinding the outer husks of oats. How healthy is oat fiber? It's pure insoluble fiber, which doesn't dissolve in water and isn't broken down in the digestive tract, so it has zero net carbs and is perfect for a Keto Diet. It helps give a more traditional texture and that's why I use it so often. Check out all the Keto Oat Fiber Recipes you can make!

    What is a Substitute for Oat Fiber?

    To get the best results, it's best to use oat fiber if you can. If you're unable to find it, try a combination of psyllium husk powder and coconut flour. Since both are very absorbent, you might have to add more liquid.

      Hi Julianne, Since I just ordered a bag of sugar free dried cranberries do I use them dry, or should I soften in a bit of warm water, first? Thanks for the beautiful Blessings and scriptures.

        I used fresh cranberries in this recipe, but you can use dried. I would let dried cranberries soak for a little while so they will plump up.

          How much psyllium husk powder and coconut flour combo should I use in place of the oat fiber? Should I use both or just one?

          I've not tried using them in this recipe before, but you can try using half of each. If the batter is too thick, you might have to add a tiny bit of liquid.

        You can but be sure they are thawed completely. You'll want to squeeze out as much of the liquid as you can before adding them to the rest of the ingredients.

        Sure, just make sure they are sugar-free, to keep the carbs and sugar low.

      This was quite good. I added 2 big fistfulls of walnuts, and some extra orange extract. I used a combination of confectioners and brown swerve. I also added some sour cream to the glaze to help with the cooling sensation of the erythritol. My 15 muffins took 35 minutes at 325° convection. Next time I will chop up the cranberries (biting into a whole bitter cranberry was unpleasant) and add more sweetener. Maybe some Allulose, my current favorite for baking. Thanks for the recipe!

      This is Absolutely one of my favorite recipes ever. The result is moist, tangy and sweet at the same time. I try to always have a loaf available, either frozen or table ready! Just delicious!

      Julianne has done it again. I made this bread and shared it with a couple of my neighbors. Everyone absolutely loved it. The cranberries make every bite just pop with flavor. I think I will make it again for my New Year’s dinner. You should too.
