Instructions
Preheat the oven to 350°F. Line an 8-inch loaf pan with parchment paper or spray with gluten-free nonstickcooking spray.
Make the topping:
In the bowl of a food processor, combine all ingredients, except the milk, until crumbly. Add the milk and pulse several times until the mixture begins to form little clumps (if too dry, add a tiny splash more milk). Scrape out of the processor and set aside.
Make the filling:
In the same processor bowl (no need to wash it), combine all the filling ingredients and blend well. Pour the filling into the pan and sprinkle with the topping.
Bake for 20-25 minutes, until the topping is browned in spots. Cool slightly before serving. Top with dairy-free yogurt or whipped cream, if desired.
