In a small mixing bowl, dissolve the yeast in warm water and let it sit until foamy, about 5-10 minutes.
In a microwave-safe bowl or saucepan, combine the milk and butter. Heat until the butter is melted and let it cool slightly.
In a large mixing bowl, whisk together the gluten-free flour blend, xanthan gum, granulated sugar, and salt.
Add the yeast mixture, milk and butter mixture, eggs, and vanilla extract to the dry ingredients. Beat with an electric mixer on medium speed until smooth and well combined.
Fold in the raisins into the dough.
In a small bowl, mix the cinnamon and brown sugar together for the swirl.
Line a 9x5 inch loaf pan with parchment paper.
Pour half of the batter into the prepared loaf pan. Sprinkle half of the cinnamon-sugar mixture over the batter.
Add the remaining batter over the cinnamon-sugar layer and smooth the top. Sprinkle the remaining cinnamon-sugar mixture over the top.
Use a butter knife to gently swirl the batter, creating a marbled effect with the cinnamon-sugar.
Cover the loaf pan with a clean cloth and let it rise in a warm place for about 30-45 minutes, or until almost doubled in size.
Preheat the oven to 350°F (175°C).
Bake the bread in the preheated oven for 40-45 minutes, or until the top is golden brown and a skewer inserted into the middle comes out clean.
Let the bread cool in the pan for 10 minutes, then transfer to a wire rack to cool completely before slicing.
