Gluten-Free Chocolate Hazelnut Quick Bread
Ingredients
- 1⅔ cups (200 g) gluten-free all-purpose flour
- 1 teaspoon (3 g) xanthan gum
- ⅓ cup (40 g) Dutch processed cocoa powder
- ½ cup (115 g) granulated sugar
- 1 teaspoon (4 g) aluminum-free baking powder
- ½ teaspoon (2.5 g) baking soda
- ½ teaspoon (3 g) kosher or fine sea salt
- ½ cup (65 g) plus 1 tablespoon (8 g) chopped hazelnuts, divided
- 2 large eggs, , room temperature
- ¼ cup (50 g) light brown sugar
- ½ cup (120 mL) plain yogurt, room temperature*
- ⅔ cup (158 mL) milk, room temperature*
- ⅓ cup (80 mL) avocado oil or other neutral oil
- 1 teaspoon (5 mL) pure vanilla extract
- ⅓ cup (100 g) gluten-free chocolate hazelnut spread*
Instructions
- Preheat the oven to 350F and coat a 9x5-inch loaf pan with gluten-free nonstick cooking spray, then line with parchment paper.
- In a large bowl, whisk together the gluten-free flour blend, xanthan gum, cocoa powder, granulated sugar, baking powder, baking soda, and salt. Stir in the chopped hazelnuts and set aside.
- In a medium bowl, whisk together the eggs, brown sugar, yogurt, milk, oil, and vanilla extract.
- Pour the wet ingredients into the dry ingredients and stir until just combined. Transfer the batter to the prepared loaf pan and spread evenly in the pan.
- Use a spoon to dollop the chocolate hazelnut spread over the top of the batter. Use a butter knife to swirl it in, then top with the remaining 1 tablespoon of chopped hazelnuts.
- Bake for 50-60 minutes or until a cake tester or toothpick comes out clean. Cool in the pan for 20 minutes on a wire rack, then remove from the pan and parchment paper to cool completely.
- Store the room temperature bread wrapped tightly in plastic wrap for up to 3 days. To freeze, wrap tightly in plastic wrap and keep in a freezer-safe bag for up to 3 months.
Notes
*For dairy-free, use unsweetened coconut milk beverage, dairy-free plain (or vanilla) yogurt, and dairy-free chocolate hazelnut spread. I prefer Nocciolata.
