Ingredients

• 2 cups gluten-free all-purpose flour
• 1.5 teaspoons baking powder
• 0.5 teaspoons baking soda
• 0.5 teaspoons salt
• 1 tablespoon ground cinnamon
• 0.5 cups unsalted butter
• 1 cup granulated sugar
• 2 eggs
• 1 teaspoon vanilla extract
• 1 cup buttermilk
• 0.5 cups brown sugar, packed
• 1.5 teaspoons ground cinnamon (for swirl)

Directions

Step 1

Preheat your oven to 350°F (175°C). Grease a standard 9x5-inch loaf pan and line it with parchment paper, leaving some overhang for easy removal.

Step 2

In a bowl, whisk together the gluten-free all-purpose flour, baking powder, baking soda, salt, and ground cinnamon until well combined. Set aside.

Step 3

In a large mixing bowl, cream the unsalted butter with the granulated sugar until light and fluffy, about 2-3 minutes.

Step 4

Add the eggs one at a time, beating well after each addition, followed by the vanilla extract.

Step 5

With the mixer on low speed, alternate adding the dry ingredients and the buttermilk, starting and ending with the dry ingredients. Mix until just combined, being careful not to overmix.

Step 6

In a small bowl, combine the brown sugar and 1.5 teaspoons of ground cinnamon for the swirl.

Step 7

Pour half of the batter into the prepared loaf pan and spread it evenly. Sprinkle half of the cinnamon sugar mixture evenly over the batter.

Step 8

Spread the remaining batter over the cinnamon sugar layer, smoothing it out. Sprinkle the remaining cinnamon sugar mixture on top.

Step 9

With a knife, gently swirl through the batter to create a marbled effect. Be careful not to overdo it.

Step 10

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

Step 11

Allow the bread to cool in the pan for 10 minutes before removing it to a wire rack to cool completely.

Step 12

Slice and serve the bread either slightly warm or at room temperature. Store leftovers in an airtight container.
