Ingredients
Servings
8
- 1 1/2 cups gluten-free all-purpose flour blend (ensure it contains xanthan gum)
- 1/2 cup almond flour
- 2 teaspoons gluten-free baking powder
- 1/4 teaspoon baking soda
- 1/4 teaspoon salt
- 3 large eggs
- 1/4 cup maple syrup
- 1/4 cup coconut oil, melted and slightly cooled
- 1/2 cup unsweetened almond milk (or preferred dairy-free milk)
- 1 teaspoon pure vanilla extract
- 1 cup mixed fresh berries (blueberries, raspberries, strawberries, roughly chopped)
- 1/3 cup sliced almonds, plus extra for topping
Instructions
-
Preheat your oven to 350 degrees F. Grease a 9x5-inch loaf pan with coconut oil and line it with parchment paper for easy removal.
-
In a large bowl, whisk together the gluten-free flour blend, almond flour, baking powder, baking soda, and salt until well combined.
-
In a separate medium bowl, beat the eggs with maple syrup, melted coconut oil, almond milk, and vanilla extract until smooth and fully combined.
-
Pour the wet ingredients into the dry ingredients and gently stir until just combined. Avoid overmixing to maintain a tender texture.
-
Fold in the fresh berries and sliced almonds carefully to distribute evenly throughout the batter.
-
Transfer the batter into the prepared loaf pan and smooth the top with a spatula. Sprinkle additional sliced almonds over the top for a crunchy finish.
-
Bake for 40-45 minutes, or until a toothpick inserted into the center comes out clean or with a few moist crumbs attached.
-
Remove the loaf from the oven and allow it to cool in the pan for about 15 minutes before transferring it to a wire rack to cool completely.
-
Once cooled, slice the loaf into 8 pieces. Serve fresh or wrap tightly and freeze individual slices to enjoy later.
Tips
Allergen Overlap Note
Check every packaged ingredient for certified gluten-free status, especially spices, broths, sauces, seed products, and baking staples. Use clean prep surfaces, dedicated utensils, and fresh parchment or cookware when preparing berry almond breakfast loaf for someone with celiac disease.
Texture Expectations
Keep mixing minimal after combining to avoid dense crumb, and cool fully before slicing for clean pieces.
Dining With Non-GF Family Note
Serve loaf slices on a dedicated gluten-free breakfast tray; keep butter alternatives separate if serving varied dietary needs.
