Ingredients

• 2.5 cups Gluten-Free All-Purpose Flour
• 1 teaspoon Xanthan Gum
• 1.5 teaspoons Baking Powder
• 0.5 teaspoon Baking Soda
• 0.5 teaspoon Salt
• 2 teaspoons Ground Cinnamon
• 0.5 cup Unsalted Butter, softened
• 1 cup Granulated Sugar
• 0.5 cup Brown Sugar
• 3 Eggs
• 2 teaspoons Vanilla Extract
• 1 cup Buttermilk
• 1 portion Cinnamon-Sugar Mixture (1/4 cup sugar + 1 tablespoon cinnamon)

Directions

Step 1

Preheat your oven to 350°F (175°C). Grease a 9x5-inch loaf pan with butter or non-stick spray and line it with parchment paper for easier removal.

Step 2

In a medium-sized mixing bowl, whisk together the gluten-free all-purpose flour, xanthan gum, baking powder, baking soda, salt, and ground cinnamon. Set aside.

Step 3

In a large bowl using an electric mixer, cream the softened butter, granulated sugar, and brown sugar together until light and fluffy, about 2-3 minutes.

Step 4

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

Step 5

Gradually add the dry ingredients to the creamed mixture, alternating with the buttermilk. Begin and end with the dry ingredients, mixing just until incorporated. Do not overmix.

Step 6

Pour half of the batter into the prepared loaf pan and smooth the top with a spatula.

Step 7

Sprinkle the cinnamon-sugar mixture over the batter evenly.

Step 8

Pour the remaining batter over the cinnamon-sugar layer, spreading it evenly with the spatula.

Step 9

Draw a knife through the batter in a swirling motion to create a marbled effect with the cinnamon-sugar layer.

Step 10

Bake in the preheated oven for 55 to 60 minutes, or until a toothpick inserted into the center of the bread comes out clean.

Step 11

Allow the bread to cool in the pan for about 15 minutes, then transfer it to a wire rack to cool completely before slicing and serving.
