Ingredients

• 2 cups Gluten-free all-purpose flour
• 1 teaspoon Xanthan gum
• 2 teaspoons Baking powder
• 0.5 teaspoon Salt
• 1.5 teaspoons Ground cinnamon
• 0.5 cup Granulated sugar
• 1.25 cups Milk (dairy or plant-based)
• 2 Large eggs
• 4 tablespoons Unsalted butter, melted
• 1 teaspoon Vanilla extract
• 1 cup Raisins

Directions

Step 1

Preheat your oven to 350°F (175°C) and grease a 9x5 inch loaf pan with nonstick cooking spray or line with parchment paper.

Step 2

In a large mixing bowl, combine the gluten-free all-purpose flour, xanthan gum, baking powder, salt, and ground cinnamon. Whisk until well mixed.

Step 3

In another medium-sized bowl, beat together the granulated sugar, milk, eggs, melted butter, and vanilla extract until well combined and the sugar is mostly dissolved.

Step 4

Pour the wet ingredients into the dry mixture and stir until just combined. Be careful not to overmix, as this can lead to a denser bread.

Step 5

Gently fold in the raisins until evenly distributed throughout the batter.

Step 6

Pour the batter into the prepared loaf pan and spread evenly with a spatula.

Step 7

Optional: Sprinkle a mixture of 1 tablespoon of granulated sugar and 1/2 teaspoon of ground cinnamon on top of the batter for an extra cinnamon-sugar crust.

Step 8

Bake in the preheated oven for 45-50 minutes, or until a toothpick inserted into the center comes out clean.

Step 9

Allow the bread to cool in the pan for about 10 minutes, then transfer it to a wire rack to cool completely before slicing.

Step 10

Serve the bread warm or at room temperature. Store leftovers in an airtight container for up to 3 days, or freeze for longer storage.
