Equipment

  • 1 loaf pan (9x5 inches)
  • 2 Mixing Bowls
  • Measuring Cups and Spoons
  • whisk
  • Spatula
  • Sifter or Fine Mesh Strainer

Ingredients
  

  • 1 ½ cups Gluten-Free All-Purpose Flour
  • ½ cup Almond Flour
  • 1 tsp Baking Powder
  • ½ tsp Baking Soda
  • ½ tsp Salt
  • ¾ cup Sugar
  • 2 large Eggs
  • 1 tsp Vanilla Extract
  • 1 cup Plain Yogurt
  • ¾ cup Dried Cherries
  • ⅓ cup Slivered Almonds
  • ½ tsp Almond Extract optional

Instructions
 

  • Prepare the Cherries: Chop dried cherries into smaller pieces if needed.
    Pat them dry to remove excess moisture.
    Set aside.
  • Mix Wet Ingredients: In a large bowl, whisk the eggs, vanilla extract, almond extract (if using), and yogurt until well combined.
  • Combine Dry Ingredients: In a separate bowl, sift together gluten-free flour, almond flour, baking powder, baking soda, and salt.
  • Mix Wet and Dry: Gradually fold the dry ingredients into the wet mixture. Stir gently until just combined.
    Avoid over-mixing.
  • Fold in Cherries and Almonds: Gently fold in the chopped dried cherries and slivered almonds until evenly distributed.
  • Bake: Preheat your oven to 350°F (175°C).
    Pour the batter into a greased or lined loaf pan. Bake for 55-60 minutes, or until a toothpick inserted into the center comes out clean.
  • Cool: Allow the bread to cool in the pan for 10 minutes, then transfer it to a wire rack to cool completely before slicing.

Notes

  • Substitutions: You can substitute dairy-free yogurt or milk to make this bread completely dairy-free.
  • Storage: Store at room temperature in an airtight container for up to 4 days, or refrigerate for up to a week. For longer storage, slice and freeze for up to 3 months.
  • Moisture Level: If you prefer a moister bread, you can add a tablespoon of applesauce or an extra 2 tbsp of yogurt.
  • Flour Tips: For best results, use a good-quality gluten-free flour blend that includes xanthan gum or guar gum to help bind the ingredients.
