    Sweet Cherry Orange Peel Poppy Seed Loaf. Vegan.

    This sweet loaf bread, it’s like a tea cake, has sweet tart fresh cherries and punchy blue poppy seeds. Add some orange zest and love and you have a healthy happy winner…

    Sweet Cherry Bread. I’ve already discussed cherries. And yes, they are worth the price for a special treat. So now lets get a little creative before those $8 a pound cherries go bad, and make a yummy tea cake loaf. I take my favorite bread lemon-poppy seed and twist it up a few orange zesty degrees. And did you know that poppy seeds are high in calcium. Just another bonus to this healthy treat that tastes like summer brunch.

    1 ½ tablespoon baking powder
    ¼ cup canola or coconut oil
    1 teaspoon Xantham Gum
    1 teaspoon vanilla extract
    1 cup fresh cherries, pitted, halved and quartered
    2 tablespoon pulpy orange juice, fresh
