Preheat oven to 350 degrees F and line a 9x5-inch loaf pan with parchment.
In a medium bowl, whisk 1¼ Cup Gluten-free Flour Mix, 1¼ Cup Oat Flour, 1½ teaspoons Baking Powder, and 1 teaspoon Salt.
In another mixing bowl, beat together the 2 Large Eggs, ¼ Cup Coconut Oil, ⅓ Cup Maple Syrup, 1½ tablespoons Orange Zest, 1 teaspoon Vanilla, and ½ Cup Buttermilk.
Mix at high speed with an electric mixer for about 10 minutes or until pale and creamy.
Now, add in the flour mixture and beat until smooth, 1-2 minutes. Add 2 Cups Fresh Cranberries, gently fold to combine.
Pour the batter into the prepared loaf pan and bake for 40-50 min or until a knife inserted in the center comes out clean.

Use a preheated oven.
To check doneness, use a knife inserted in the center; if it comes out clean, the Cranberry Orange Bread is ready.
This bread was made without orange juice. If you would like to add some, you may add about 1/2 a cup, but you would have to add another 1/4 cup of oat or gluten-free flour.
You can whip up a couple of these as easily as one, so feel free to double the ingredients. One for you and one for a friend (or two for you!).
Use a greased loaf pan.
If you like, add some chopped nuts. Nuts are a wonderful addition and complement the flavors of the bread beautifully.
If using frozen cranberries, you do not need to thaw them.
Invest in an oven thermometer. If you don't have one already, they are great for baking! Most ovens vary in temperature, an inexpensive oven thermometer is a great way to bake your loaf perfectly
