Cinnamon raisin bread made with gluten-free sourdough starter discard instead of commercial yeast. I made this recipe during the Covid-19 lockdown when yeast had disappeared from the supermarkets. This light and fluffy loaf is very easy to make because there is no kneading; it is more of a batter than a dough. This bread is delicious toasted.
Ingredients
- 0.75 cups raisins
- 2 cups gluten-free bread flour mix
- 0.5 cups buckwheat flour
- 0.25 cups coconut sugar
- 1 tablespoon ground cinnamon
- 1 pinch cream of tartar
- 1 pinch baking soda
- 0.75 cups whole milk , at room temperature
- 0.5 cups gluten-free sourdough starter
- 1 teaspoon agave nectar
- 3 eggs , lightly beaten
- 1 teaspoon vanilla extract

Pour the batter into the prepared loaf pan. Smooth out the top using a wet rubber scraper. Loosely cover the pan with plastic wrap and let rise until almost doubled in size, about 2 hours. Cover with foil.

Low-Fat Apple Spice Muffins
What I like the most about these muffins is that the spices make the muffin what it is. The raw cane sugar and whole wheat pastry flour are the best to use because they are the least processed ingredients available and retain more of their natural goodness. The chunky apple bits give me more for my bite and add another level of sweetness to the muffin. These make a great breakfast or brunch item, or you can have one with a cup of coffee and unwind! Enjoy!
Coconut Overnight Oats
These creamy coconut overnight oats have a great flavor and a boost of protein from Greek yogurt and chia seeds. I topped them with cacao nibs and almonds, but feel free to use fresh fruit or any other topping. Add honey or maple syrup if you like them sweeter.
