The Best Gluten-Free Raspberry and Pear Loaf
This Raspberry and Pear loaf is gluten-free, dairy free and refined sugar free. It still contains sugar in the form of rice malt syrup but it is a reduced amount and therefore takes more of its sweetness from the scrumptious raspberries and pear!
This is perfect for a lighter afternoon treat and tastes oh so good!
Ingredients-
- 1 C GF S.R. Flour
- 1 C hazelnut meal
- 1 C desiccated coconut
- 250ml coconut milk

- 1/2 C rice malt syrup
- 2 eggs, beaten
- 1/2 tsp vanilla bean paste

Place the flour, hazelnut meal and desiccated coconut in a bowl and set aside.
Step 2. In another bowl, place the coconut milk, beaten eggs and vanilla. Mix until combined.
Add the coconut milk mixture to the dry ingredients along with the rice malt syrup. Gently mix.
Step 3. Fold through the chopped pear and raspberries. Pour in to the loaf tin.
Bake in the oven for 1 hour or until it springs back lightly to the touch.
