Recipe Information
Ingredients
- 2.5 cups Gluten-Free All-Purpose Flour
- 1 teaspoon Xanthan Gum
- 1.5 teaspoons Baking Powder
- 0.5 teaspoon Baking Soda
- 0.5 teaspoon Salt
- 2 teaspoons Ground Cinnamon
- 0.5 cup Unsalted Butter, softened
- 1 cup Granulated Sugar
- 0.5 cup Brown Sugar
- 3 Eggs
- 2 teaspoons Vanilla Extract
- 1 cup Buttermilk
- 1 portion Cinnamon-Sugar Mixture (1/4 cup sugar + 1 tablespoon cinnamon)
Instructions
Preheat your oven to 350°F (175°C). Grease a 9x5-inch loaf pan with butter or non-stick spray and line it with parchment paper for easier removal.
In a medium-sized mixing bowl, whisk together the gluten-free all-purpose flour, xanthan gum, baking powder, baking soda, salt, and ground cinnamon. Set aside.
In a large bowl using an electric mixer, cream the softened butter, granulated sugar, and brown sugar together until light and fluffy, about 2-3 minutes.
Add the eggs, one at a time, beating well after each addition. Mix in the vanilla extract.
Gradually add the dry ingredients to the creamed mixture, alternating with the buttermilk. Begin and end with the dry ingredients, mixing just until incorporated. Do not overmix.
Pour half of the batter into the prepared loaf pan and smooth the top with a spatula.
Sprinkle the cinnamon-sugar mixture over the batter evenly.
Pour the remaining batter over the cinnamon-sugar layer, spreading it evenly with the spatula.
Draw a knife through the batter in a swirling motion to create a marbled effect with the cinnamon-sugar layer.
Bake in the preheated oven for 55 to 60 minutes, or until a toothpick inserted into the center of the bread comes out clean.
Allow the bread to cool in the pan for about 15 minutes, then transfer it to a wire rack to cool completely before slicing and serving.
