Ingredients

• 2 teaspoons Baking powder
• 0.5 teaspoon Baking soda
• 1 teaspoon Ground cinnamon
• 0.5 teaspoon Ground nutmeg
• 0.5 teaspoon Salt
• 3 large Eggs

• 120 ml Milk

• 100 grams Dried apricots, chopped
• 50 grams Chopped nuts (e.g., almonds, walnuts)

Directions

Step 1

Preheat your oven to 180°C (350°F). Grease and line a standard loaf tin with parchment paper.

Step 2

In a large mixing bowl, whisk together the gluten-free all-purpose flour, baking powder, baking soda, ground cinnamon, ground nutmeg, and salt.

Step 3

In a separate bowl, beat the eggs and brown sugar together until well combined. Add the melted butter and vanilla extract, and continue to whisk until smooth.

Step 4

Stir the wet mixture into the dry ingredients, adding the milk gradually to form a smooth batter.

Step 5

Fold in the raisins, chopped dried apricots, and chopped nuts until evenly distributed throughout the batter.

Step 6

Pour the batter into the prepared loaf tin, smoothing the top with a spatula.

Step 7

Bake in the preheated oven for 60 minutes or until a skewer inserted into the center of the loaf comes out clean.

Step 8

Allow the loaf to cool in the tin for 10 minutes before transferring it to a wire rack to cool completely.

Step 9

Slice and serve as desired; store any leftovers in an airtight container.
