Orange Cranberry Loaf (VEGAN)*
-
Orange Cranberry Loaf
2 cups whole wheat pastry flour (I find just whole wheat flour fine, but if you like softer texture, use pastry)
2 tsp. baking powder
1/4 tsp. baking soda
1/2 tsp. sea salt
Juice & zest of one orange
1/2 cup plus 1 Tbsp. Soy or other nondairy milk of choice
1/4 cup agave nectar
1/4 cup safflower oil (or oil of choice)
1 1/4 tsp pure vanilla extract
1 cup fresh or frozen cranberries
1 cup vegan powdered sugar (some sugars are filtered through char of animals bones)1. Preheat oven to 375F, lightly oil a loaf pan (8x4x2-1/2 inch)
2. Sift dry ingredients into medium bowl. Add orange juice and zest, 1 cup milk, syrup, oil and 1/2 tsp vanilla extract. Stir gently to combine, fold in cranberries.
3. Pour batter into prepared pan. Bake 30-35 minutes or until toothpick inserted in center comes out clean. Allow to cool slightly before glazing.
4. Glaze: In small bowl, whisk powdered sugar, 1 T milk, and 1 tsp vanilla. Add more milk if needed to get consistency desired, drizzle over loaf. Or Omit glaze altogether and dust with powdered sugar.

Whole Foods, and other large "alternative" food markets have vegan cream cheese. You can't even tell. And NO CHOLESTEROL! YAY
Also, cranberries in the bag freeze so well - you don't have to do anything but buy a couple extra bags when you're out shopping and throw them in the freezer. Just rinse when you take them out to use them.
