Preheat oven to 350 degrees. Line a baking loaf tin with parchment paper and non-stick spray (I use a coconut oil spray), and set aside.
To a large mixing bowl, add whole wheat flour, baking powder, baking soda, orange zest, cinnamon, and salt. Whisk to combine.
Add in orange juice, coconut oil, eggs, maple syrup, vanilla extract, and almond extract. Mix to combine, but avoid over-mixing.
Gently fold in fresh cranberries.
Pour into prepared loaf tin, and bake for ~50 minutes, until cake tester comes out clean and top is golden brown.
While loaf cools, make Orange Glaze by whisking together powdered sugar, orange juice, and zest. If glaze is too thin, add more powdered sugar. If it's too thick, add more juice until you have your desired consistency.
Pour glaze over loaf before cutting into slices. Store tightly in foil on the counter for up to 3 days or in an air-tight container in the fridge. Enjoy!
