Coconut Cranberry pound cake

Coconut Cranberry pound cake

Dry

·        1 ½ cups oat flour (or all-purpose gluten-free blend)

·        ½ cup cassava flour (adds tenderness and binding — nut-free alternative to almond flour)

·        2 tsp baking powder

·        ½ tsp baking soda

·        ¼ tsp fine sea salt

·        ½ cup Naturalvert Coconut Cranberry Granola, lightly crushed

 

Wet

·        2 flax eggs (2 Tbsp ground flaxseed + 6 Tbsp warm water; let sit 5–10 min to gel)

·        1 cup oat milk or coconut milk (unsweetened)

·        ⅓ cup agave syrup (or maple syrup)

·        ¼ cup coconut cream (thick part from a can, for richness)

·        2 tsp vanilla extract

·        Zest of 1 lemon or ½ orange (optional but brightens flavor)

Topping 

·        2 Tbsp Naturalvert granola (crumbled)

 

Instructions

1.     Prep flax eggs: Mix ground flaxseed with warm water and let sit 5–10 minutes until thick and gelatinous.

2.     Preheat oven to 350 °F (175 °C). Line an 8 × 4 in loaf pan with parchment.

3.     In a large bowl, whisk together oat flour, cassava flour, baking powder, baking soda, salt, and the crushed granola.

4.     In a separate bowl, whisk flax eggs, oat milk, agave syrup, coconut cream, vanilla, and citrus zest until smooth.

5.     Combine wet + dry mixtures. Stir gently until just incorporated (do not overmix). The batter should be thick but pourable.

6.     Pour into the loaf pan, smooth the top, and add your granola + coconut topping.

7.     Bake 45–55 minutes (or 25–30 min for mini loaves), until a toothpick comes out clean.

Cool 10 minutes in the pan, then transfer to a rack. Let cool completely before slicing.
