After learning of gluten and dairy sensitivities in our family, I knew I had to re-create our favorite sweet bread. This gluten-free bread can be made using a premixed gluten-free flour or your own homemade blend. We use coconut milk to make it dairy-free, but any type of milk works! —Courtney Stultz, Weir, Kansas

Gluten- and Dairy-Free Cinnamon Raisin Bread

Prep Time 25 min
Cook Time 45 min
Yield 12 servings

Ingredients

  • 2 cups plus 1 tablespoon gluten-free all-purpose baking flour (without xanthan gum)
  • 1 cup sugar, divided
  • 1-1/2 teaspoons baking powder
  • 1/2 teaspoon baking soda
  • 1/4 teaspoon salt
  • 2 large eggs
  • 1 cup coconut milk
  • 1/2 cup canola oil
  • 1 teaspoon vanilla extract
  • 1 cup raisins
  • 3 teaspoons ground cinnamon
  • Dairy-free spreadable margarine, optional

Directions

  1. Preheat oven to 350°. In a large bowl, whisk flour, 3/4 cup sugar, baking powder, baking soda and salt. In another bowl, whisk eggs, coconut milk, oil and vanilla until blended. Add to flour mixture; stir just until moistened. Toss the raisins with remaining flour; fold into batter.
  2. Transfer half of the batter to a greased 9x5-in. loaf pan. Combine the cinnamon and remaining sugar. Sprinkle half over batter. Repeat layers. Cut through batter with a knife to swirl.
  3. Bake until a toothpick inserted in center comes out clean, 45-50 minutes. Cool in pans 10 minutes before removing to a wire rack to cool completely. If desired, serve with dairy-free margarine.
