Applesauce Bread – *GF, *EF

Being gluten free has forced me outside my comfort zone in the kitchen.   I have had to learn how to make yummy baked goods at home that are both safe for me, and actually taste yummy ;-p …yeah…the expensive cardboard tasting stuff from the store just was not doing the job… So, I hope that my many failures and few successes can give you some extra help when it comes to making nutritious, safe treats for your precious people!!

3 cups Millet Flour1 cup Brown Rice Flour
2 tsp xanthum gum
2 tsp baking powder
1/2 tsp baking soda
2 tsp cinnamon

Mix the dry ingredients and set it aside.  In a separate mixing bowl, blend:

3/4 cup maple syrup
1 cup brown sugar
1/2 cup melted butter
2 cups applesauce
2tsp baking powder – then add 2 tbsp Apple Cider Vinegar and 2tbsp water – it will fiz and you will mix it quickly. (This is your egg replacement.  If you do not need to replace the eggs for health reasons, then you can substitute this for 2 large eggs.)

Once your wet ingredients are thoroughly mixed, add the bowl of dry ingredients all at once and mix until smooth.

Preheat oven to 350, grease and flour 2 loaf pans.

Bake for 55 minutes or until center feels “set.”

Let cool for fifteen minutes on wire rack – remove from pan and let cool on wire racks for another 45 minutes.

Serve warm with butter… yummy!
