A moist and tangy cranberry lemon loaf made with gluten-free flours and naturally sweetened with honey. Finished with a bright lemon glaze, it’s a refreshing and healthier dessert option.

Ingredients

  • 1/2 cup coconut flour
  • 3/4 cup all purpose gluten free flour
  • 1/4 cup tapioca flour
  • 1/2 teaspoon baking soda
  • 1/2 teaspoon baking powder
  • 1 teaspoon vanilla
  • 1/4 cup + 2 tablespoons honey
  • 1/4 cup applesauce
  • 3 eggs
  • 1 cup almond milk
  • 2 tablespoons lemon juice
  • 2 tablespoons lemon zest
  • 1/4 cup frozen cranberries
  • 1 cup sugar-free powdered sugar (such as Swerve) or regular powdered sugar
  • 2 tablespoons lemon juice (for glaze)
  • 1 tablespoon almond milk (for glaze)

Instructions

  1. In a large bowl, add all dry ingredients and stir to combine.
  2. In another bowl, mix the vanilla, honey, applesauce, eggs, almond milk, lemon juice, and lemon zest until smooth.
  3. Pour the wet ingredients into the dry ingredients and stir just until combined and no clumps remain.
  4. Fold in the cranberries.
  5. Grease an 8-inch rectangular loaf pan with coconut oil or olive oil spray and pour in the batter.
  6. Add 1 cup of water to the pressure cooker. Cover the loaf pan with foil and place it on the metal trivet inside the cooker.
  7. Close the pressure cooker and set to high pressure (dessert setting) for 35 minutes.
  8. Once done, let it sit on warm for 10 minutes, then release the pressure.
  9. In a small bowl, combine powdered sugar, lemon juice, and almond milk, mixing until smooth to form the glaze.
  10. Remove the loaf from the pressure cooker and let it cool completely. Remove from the pan and drizzle with glaze.
  11. Place in the fridge for 10 minutes to allow the glaze to set.
  12. Serve and enjoy.

Notes

  • You can bake this in an oven at 350°F (175°C) for about 40–50 minutes if you do not have a pressure cooker.
  • Use fresh cranberries if frozen are unavailable.
  • Store leftovers in the refrigerator for up to 4 days.
  • For extra lemon flavor, add more zest to the glaze.
