Ingredients
  

1 ½ cups all-purpose flour

½ cup almond flour

1 tsp baking powder

½ tsp baking soda

½ tsp salt

1 tsp ground cinnamon

½ cup granulated sugar

¼ cup brown sugar, packed

2 large eggs

½ cup Greek yogurt

½ cup unsweetened applesauce

¼ cup almond milk (or any milk of choice)

1 tsp vanilla extract

1 cup fresh or frozen cranberries

½ cup sliced almonds (plus extra for topping)

Zest of 1 orange (optional)

Instructions
 

Preheat the Oven: Start by preheating your oven to 350°F (175°C). Grease a 9x5-inch loaf pan or line it with parchment paper for easy removal.

    Mix Dry Ingredients: In a large mixing bowl, whisk together the all-purpose flour, almond flour, baking powder, baking soda, salt, and cinnamon until well combined.

      Combine Sugars: In another bowl, beat together the granulated sugar, brown sugar, and eggs until light and fluffy. This should take about 2-3 minutes.

        Add Wet Ingredients: Add the Greek yogurt, applesauce, almond milk, vanilla extract, and orange zest (if using) to the sugar and egg mixture. Mix well until everything is incorporated.

          Combine Wet and Dry: Gradually add the dry ingredient mixture to the wet mixture, stirring gently until just combined. Be careful not to overmix; a few lumps are okay.

            Add Cranberries and Almonds: Fold in the cranberries and sliced almonds gently into the batter, ensuring they are evenly distributed without breaking them.

              Pour into Pan: Pour the batter into the prepared loaf pan. Sprinkle additional sliced almonds on top for added crunch.

                Bake: Place in the preheated oven and bake for 50-60 minutes or until a toothpick inserted in the center comes out clean.

                  Cool Down: Once baked, remove the loaf from the oven and let it cool in the pan for about 10 minutes. Then, transfer the loaf to a wire rack to cool completely.

                    Slice and Serve: Slice the cooled loaf and enjoy it as a delicious breakfast or snack, perfect with a smear of butter or cream cheese.
