Gluten-Free Apple Cinnamon Breakfast Loaf

Ingredients

- 2 cups gluten-free flour
- 1 ½ teaspoons baking powder
- ½ teaspoon baking soda
- ¾ teaspoon salt
- 1 teaspoon ground cinnamon
- ½ teaspoon ground nutmeg
- ¾ cup sugar
- ½ cup unsalted butter, melted
- 2 large eggs
- 1 teaspoon vanilla extract
- 1 cup unsweetened applesauce
- 2 medium apples, peeled, cored, and chopped

Instructions

1. Preheat the Oven
Set your oven to 350°F (175°C). Prepare a 9x5-inch loaf pan by greasing it lightly with butter or lining it with parchment paper.

2. Mix the Dry Ingredients
In a medium bowl, combine the gluten-free flour, baking powder, baking soda, salt, cinnamon, and nutmeg. Whisk together until evenly mixed.

3. Prepare the Wet Mixture
In a large mixing bowl, beat together the melted butter and sugar until it forms a smooth consistency. Add the eggs one at a time, beating well after each addition. Incorporate the vanilla extract and applesauce, mixing thoroughly.

4. Combine Dry and Wet Ingredients
Gradually add the dry mixture to the wet ingredients, stirring gently until just combined. Do not overmix to ensure a light texture.

5. Fold in the Apples
Carefully fold in the chopped apples until they are evenly distributed throughout the batter.

6. Bake the Loaf
Pour the batter into the prepared loaf pan, spreading it evenly. Place the pan into the preheated oven and bake for approximately 50-60 minutes. To ensure it's done, insert a toothpick into the center of the loaf; if it comes out clean, the loaf is ready.

7. Cool and Serve
Allow the loaf to cool in the pan for about 10 minutes, then transfer it to a wire rack to cool completely before slicing. Enjoy fresh or toasted slices for a delightful breakfast treat.
