Step-by-Step Instructions
  1. Preheat your oven to 350°F (175°C) and grease a 9×5 or 8×4 inch loaf pan.
  2. In a large mixing bowl, beat the eggs on medium speed for about 1-2 minutes until frothy.
  3. Mix in the yogurt, melted coconut oil, orange juice, and vanilla extract until creamy.
  4. In a separate bowl, whisk the gluten-free flour, almond flour, ground cardamom, baking powder, baking soda, and salt together.
  5. Gradually add the dry mixture to the wet ingredients, stirring gently until just combined.
  6. Pour the batter into the prepared loaf pan and bake for 40-45 minutes until golden.

  8. Whisk together the powdered sugar, orange juice, vanilla extract, and ground cardamom for the glaze.
  9. Drizzle the glaze over the cooled bread and store any leftovers in an airtight container.
