Deliciously moist and fluffy apple cinnamon bread made gluten-free and sweetened with coconut sugar.
Ingredient:
Apple Cinnamon Mixture:
- ½ cup coconut sugar*
- 1 Tbsp ground cinnamon
- 1 granny smith apple peeled, cored, and finely chopped
- 1 tsp olive oil
- pinch salt
For the Gluten Free Bread:
- ½ cup unsalted butter softened
- 2/3 cup coconut sugar**
- 2 tsp pure vanilla extract
- 2 eggs
- 1½ cups gluten-free flour blend
- 1½ tsp baking powder
- 1 tsp kosher salt
- ½ cup full-fat Greek yogurt
Instructions
-
Preheat your oven to 350 degrees F. Line a 9″ x 5″ loaf pan with parchment paper or spray it with cooking oil.
-
Add the ingredients for the apple cinnamon mixture to a small mixing bowl. Stir well, and set aside.
-
In a stand mixer or a mixing bowl, cream together the butter, coconut sugar, and vanilla extract (wet mixture).
-
Add the eggs one at a time and continue mixing until well combined.
-
In a separate mixing bowl, stir together the gluten-free flour, baking powder, and salt (the dry ingredients).
-
Pour the flour mixture into the bowl with the wet mixture and mix just until combined.
-
Add the Greek yogurt and mix until a smooth and well combined. The mixture will be very thick and doughy – this is normal.
-
Spread half of the bread dough in the prepared loaf pan.
-
Add 2/3 of the apple cinnamon mixture and press it into the dough with a spoon.
-
Spread the remaining bread dough on top, followed by the remaining apple cinnamon mixture.
-
Place on the center wrack in the oven and bake for 50 minutes. Turn the oven off and allow the bread to sit in the oven an additional 5 minutes or until it tests clean.
-
Remove bread from the oven and allow it to cool for at least 20 minutes before slicing and serving.
-
Serve warm with butter!
