Ingredients
  

Dry Ingredients
  • 1 3/8 cups all-purpose gluten-free flour blend
  • 3/4 teaspoon xanthan gum Optional, can be substituted with guar gum.
  • 3/8 cup cornstarch
  • 5/8 cup certified gluten-free oat flour Can be made by blending rolled oats.
  • 2 teaspoons baking powder
  • 3/4 teaspoon baking soda
  • 1/2 teaspoon kosher salt
  • 3/4 cup granulated sugar
  • 1/2 cup certified gluten-free old-fashioned rolled oats Reserved for topping.
Wet Ingredients
  • 1 cup buttermilk (at room temperature) Can substitute with plant-based milk and vinegar for a vegan option.
  • 6 tablespoons unsalted butter (melted and cooled)
  • 2 eggs (at room temperature, beaten)

Method
 

Preparation
  1. Preheat your oven to 375°F.
  2. Grease an 8.5-inch x 4.5-inch loaf pan and line it with parchment paper.
  3. In a large bowl, mix together the flour blend, xanthan gum, cornstarch, oat flour, baking powder, baking soda, salt, and sugar.
  4. Add almost all the rolled oats and mix well.
  5. Create a well in the center and add the buttermilk, melted butter, and beaten eggs. Stir to combine without overmixing.
Baking
  1. Pour the batter into the prepared loaf pan, smooth the top, and make a 1/4-inch deep slash down the center.
  2. Sprinkle reserved oats on top and tap the pan on the counter.
  3. Bake for 10 minutes at 375°F, then reduce the temperature to 350°F and bake for an additional 45-50 minutes until the loaf springs back when lightly pressed.
  4. Cool in the pan for 15 minutes before transferring to a wire rack to cool completely.
  5. Slice once cool and enjoy!

Notes

Use room temperature ingredients for a fluffier loaf. Make sure to let the loaf cool completely before slicing to avoid a gooey mess.
