PALEO CRANBERRY ORANGE LOAF WITH ORANGE GLAZE

You guys!!!  I did a baking thing!!  And it turned out so super scrumptious.  I seriously can not WAIT for you to make this PALEO CRANBERRY ORANGE LOAF WITH ORANGE GLAZE. I’m drooling just thinking about it!

I’m not a baker.  If you have been following me for awhile you know that about me.  Especially when it comes to Paleo baking.  It’s just so hard to get it right.  If you have ever tried paleo baking you know EXACTLY what I’m talking about.  Well I cracked the baking code!!  At least for making delicious loafs!

This Cranberry Orange loaf is perfectly sweet, perfectly tart, and perfectly perfect!! LOL.

The only thing that doesn’t make this “paleo” is the glaze which I made with regular powdered sugar.  There is just something about a good old fashioned glaze!  I did Google paleo powdered sugar and there are a few recipes out there….so check the ol’ goog if you are being wicked strict with your paleo diet.

I also did not try this with any other flour types, so I am not sure how it will work out, but if you do use a different flour (or even a paleo powdered sugar) let everyone know in the comments how it turned out!!

This loaf is great in the morning with a cup o’ Joe, or at night as a little dessert.  Okay, okay, I lied.  This loaf is really good at any time of the day.  It also makes for a great holiday gift, if baking goods is your thing!!
