Ingredients
Scale
- 1½ cups gluten‑free flour blend (e.g. rice, tapioca, sorghum or almond flour) + xanthan gum
- 1 tsp baking soda
- 1 tsp baking powder
- 1 tsp ground cinnamon
- ¼ tsp nutmeg
- ½ tsp salt

- ½ cup brown sugar
- 2 eggs
- ½ cup apple cider (reduced)
- ¼ cup apple cider vinegar
- ½ cup applesauce or yogurt
- ½ cup oil (or melted butter)
- 1 tsp vanilla extract
Instructions
- Preheat oven to 350°F (175°C), grease a loaf or cake pan.
- Simmer apple cider until reduced by half; cool.
- Whisk dry ingredients in a bowl.
- In another bowl, combine eggs, sugars, reduced cider, vinegar, applesauce (or yogurt), oil, and vanilla.
