Cinnamon Sugar Topping – you can use just half of this mixture, as I did, for a lightly sweet treat
- 2 teaspoons coconut sugar
- 1/4 teaspoon ground cinnamon
Dry Ingredients
- 2 1/4 cups gluten free oat flour – if using homemade oat flour, make sure it’s very finely ground (not coarse)
- 1/2 cup finely ground, blanched almond flour
- 2 1/2 teaspoons ground cinnamon
- 1 teaspoon baking soda
- 1/2 teaspoon baking powder
- 1/4 teaspoon salt
Wet Ingredients
- 3/4 cup water
- 1/2 cup non-dairy milk
- 3 tablespoons melted coconut oil
- 1/4 cup coconut sugar
- 1/4 cup pure maple syrup
- 1 teaspoon pure vanilla extract
Instructions
- Preheat the oven to 350°F. Line an 8-inch loaf pan with parchment paper or greased foil. Set aside.
- Add Cinnamon Topping ingredients into small bowl. Whisk together into well mixed. Set aside for later.
- In a large bowl, sift together all the dry ingredients: oat flour, almond flour, cinnamon, baking soda, baking powder and salt.
- Add water and milk to a microwave-safe bowl. Heat in 10-second increments until just warm. This will prevent the melted coconut oil from solidifying once mixed with these liquids.
- In a medium bowl, whisk together all wet ingredients: water, milk, oil, sugar, maple syrup and vanilla. Whisk until well incorporated.
- Add wet ingredients to dry ingredients. Whisk until just incorporated, making sure no flour patches remain.
- Pour batter evenly into prepared pan. Using a rubber spatula, smooth batter into an even layer. Sprinkle Cinnamon Topping in a mostly even layer over the bread—some clumping is good!
- Bake for 45-55 minutes. Mine took 50 minutes. Insert a toothpick to check for doneness—once it comes out clean with just a few moist bits, it’s done.
- Allow to cool on a cooling rack for 1 hour. Lift out of pan, transferring loaf along with parchment paper directly onto the cooling rack. Allow to finish cooling for 1-2 hours. Slice loaf into 10-14 slices. Enjoy!
