Cuisine: American
Serves: 1 loaf
Ingredients
- 1 1/2 cups almond flour
- 1/2 cup coconut sugar
- 1/4 cup granulated sugar
- 1/2 cup unsalted butter, melted
- 2 large eggs
- 2 teaspoons vanilla extract
- 1 cup hulled and sliced strawberries
- 1 teaspoon salt
- 1 teaspoon xanthan gum
Instructions
- Preheat your oven to 350°F (175°C). Grease a 9x5-inch loaf pan with butter or line it with parchment paper for easy removal.
- In a large mixing bowl, combine the almond flour, coconut sugar, granulated sugar, salt, and xanthan gum. Whisk these dry ingredients together until they are well combined and free of lumps.
- In another bowl, melt the unsalted butter in the microwave or on the stovetop. Allow it to cool slightly before adding it to the mixture.
- Add the melted butter, eggs, and vanilla extract to the dry ingredients. Mix until everything is well incorporated and the batter is smooth.
- Gently fold in the hulled and sliced strawberries into the batter, ensuring they are evenly distributed without overmixing.
- Pour the batter into the prepared loaf pan, smoothing the top with a spatula to ensure even baking.
- Bake in the preheated oven for 40-45 minutes, or until a toothpick inserted into the center comes out clean. The top should be golden brown.
- Once baked, remove the loaf from the oven and allow it to cool in the pan for about 10 minutes. Then, carefully transfer it to a wire rack to cool completely.
- Slice the gluten-free strawberry bread once it has cooled. Serve it plain or with a spread of your choice, such as butter or cream cheese.
- Store any leftovers in an airtight container at room temperature for up to 3 days, or refrigerate for longer freshness.
Tips
- Use room temperature ingredients to ensure better mixing and a more consistent batter.
- Don't overmix the batter, as this can make the bread tough and dense.
- Choose ripe, sweet strawberries for the most intense flavor.
- If the bread browns too quickly, cover it loosely with aluminum foil to prevent burning.
- Allow the bread to cool completely before slicing to maintain its structure.
- For extra moisture, you can add a tablespoon of Greek yogurt to the batter.
- Store in an airtight container to maintain freshness and prevent the bread from drying out.
- For added texture, consider toasting a slice before serving.
