Recipe Information
Ingredients
- 250 grams Gluten-free all-purpose flour
- 2 teaspoons Baking powder
- 0.5 teaspoon Baking soda
- 1 teaspoon Ground cinnamon
- 0.5 teaspoon Ground nutmeg
- 0.5 teaspoon Salt
- 3 large Eggs
- 150 grams Brown sugar
- 100 grams Butter, melted
- 1 teaspoon Vanilla extract
- 120 ml Milk
- 100 grams Raisins
- 100 grams Dried apricots, chopped
- 50 grams Chopped nuts (e.g., almonds, walnuts)
Instructions
Preheat your oven to 180°C (350°F). Grease and line a standard loaf tin with parchment paper.
In a large mixing bowl, whisk together the gluten-free all-purpose flour, baking powder, baking soda, ground cinnamon, ground nutmeg, and salt.
In a separate bowl, beat the eggs and brown sugar together until well combined. Add the melted butter and vanilla extract, and continue to whisk until smooth.
Stir the wet mixture into the dry ingredients, adding the milk gradually to form a smooth batter.
Fold in the raisins, chopped dried apricots, and chopped nuts until evenly distributed throughout the batter.
Pour the batter into the prepared loaf tin, smoothing the top with a spatula.
Bake in the preheated oven for 60 minutes or until a skewer inserted into the center of the loaf comes out clean.
Allow the loaf to cool in the tin for 10 minutes before transferring it to a wire rack to cool completely.
Slice and serve as desired; store any leftovers in an airtight container.
