Preheat your oven to 350°F (175°C) and grease a 9x5 inch loaf pan with cooking spray or line it with parchment paper.
In a large mixing bowl, whisk together the gluten-free all-purpose flour, baking powder, salt, and ground cinnamon. Set aside the dry ingredients.
In another bowl, beat the eggs. Add in unsweetened applesauce, honey, vanilla extract, and yogurt or almond milk, and whisk until smooth and well combined.
Gently fold the wet ingredients into the dry ingredients using a spatula, mixing until just combined. Avoid overmixing to keep the bread tender.
Stir in the chopped walnuts or pecans evenly throughout the batter.
Pour the batter into the prepared loaf pan, spreading it evenly.
Bake in the preheated oven for 40-45 minutes, or until a toothpick inserted into the center of the bread comes out clean.
Remove from the oven and allow the bread to cool in the loaf pan for about 10 minutes before transferring it to a wire rack to cool completely.
Slice and serve the bread plain, or with your favorite toppings. Store leftovers in an airtight container at room temperature for up to 3 days.
