Cook Time: 45 mins
Total Time: 1 hrs
Cuisine: American
Serves: 1 loaf
Ingredients
- 2 cups gluten-free all-purpose flour
- 1 tsp baking powder
- 1 tsp baking soda
- 1/2 tsp salt
- 1 tsp cinnamon
- 1/2 cup brown sugar
- 1/2 cup honey or maple syrup
- 1/2 cup vegetable oil
- 3 large eggs
- 1 cup grated carrots
- 1/2 cup crushed pineapple, drained
- 1/2 cup raisins
- 1/2 cup chopped walnuts
Instructions
- Preheat the oven to 350°F (175°C). Grease a 9x5 inch loaf pan with cooking spray or line with parchment paper.
- In a large mixing bowl, whisk together gluten-free all-purpose flour, baking powder, baking soda, salt, and cinnamon until well combined.
- In a separate bowl, mix brown sugar, honey (or maple syrup), vegetable oil, and eggs until smooth and fully incorporated.
- Gently fold the wet ingredients into the dry ingredients, stirring until just combined. Be careful not to overmix the batter.
- Fold in grated carrots, drained crushed pineapple, raisins, and chopped walnuts until evenly distributed throughout the batter.
- Pour the batter into the prepared loaf pan, spreading it evenly with a spatula.
- Bake in the preheated oven for 45-50 minutes, or until a toothpick inserted into the center comes out clean.
- Remove from oven and let the loaf cool in the pan for 10 minutes.
- Carefully transfer the loaf to a wire rack and allow to cool completely before slicing.
- Slice and serve. Store remaining loaf in an airtight container at room temperature for up to 3 days, or refrigerate for up to a week.
Tips
- Measure Accurately: For the best results, make sure to measure your gluten-free flour accurately. Spoon it into the measuring cup and level it off with a knife to avoid packing it down.
- Mix Gently: When combining the wet and dry ingredients, mix gently to keep the loaf light and airy. Overmixing can lead to a dense texture.
- Customize Add-ins: Feel free to customize your loaf by adding in other ingredients like shredded coconut, chopped apples, or even a sprinkle of chia seeds for added nutrition.
- Check for Doneness: Ovens can vary, so start checking your loaf at the 45-minute mark. Insert a toothpick into the center; if it comes out clean, your loaf is ready!
- Storage Tips: To keep your loaf fresh, store it in an airtight container at room temperature for up to 3 days. For longer storage, slice and freeze individual pieces for a quick breakfast treat anytime!
