Recipe Information
Ingredients
- 1.5 cups Gluten-free all-purpose flour
- 0.5 teaspoons Xanthan gum
- 1.5 teaspoons Baking powder
- 0.5 teaspoons Baking soda
- 0.5 teaspoons Salt
- 2 tablespoons Poppy seeds
- 0.75 cups Sugar
- 0.5 cups Butter, melted
- 2 large Eggs
- 2 teaspoons Vanilla extract
- 0.75 cups Almond milk or any preferred non-dairy milk
- 1 tablespoon Lemon zest
Instructions
Preheat your oven to 350°F (175°C) and lightly grease a 9x5 inch loaf pan with a non-stick spray or line with parchment paper.
In a large mixing bowl, whisk together the gluten-free all-purpose flour, xanthan gum, baking powder, baking soda, salt, and poppy seeds until well combined.
In a separate bowl, beat the sugar and melted butter together until smooth. Add in the eggs one at a time, beating well after each addition.
Stir in the vanilla extract, almond milk, and lemon zest into the wet mixture until fully combined.
Gradually add the dry ingredients to the wet ingredients, stirring just until the batter is well mixed and smooth. Be careful not to overmix.
Pour the batter into the prepared loaf pan, spreading it evenly.
Bake in the preheated oven for 50 minutes, or until a toothpick inserted into the center of the bread comes out clean.
Once baked, remove the bread from the oven and allow it to cool in the pan for about 10 minutes.
Transfer the bread to a wire rack to cool completely before slicing.
Enjoy your gluten-free poppy seed bread plain or with a bit of honey or butter spread on top.
