Sweet and tender, this gluten free poppyseed bread is loaded with crunchy poppyseeds. Bake this recipe in a standard loaf size or as three mini loaves.
Preheat oven to 375℉ and grease a loaf pan or mini loaf pans lightly with vegetable oil.
Combine 1 cup granulated sugar, 2 eggs, 1 cup evaporated milk, 1 cup vegetable oil, and 1 teaspoon pure vanilla extract in a large bowl. Whisk very well to combine. In another bowl, whisk together 1 ½ cups oat flour, ½ cup almond flour, 2 teaspoons baking powder, and ¼ teaspoon fine sea salt. Stir the flour mixture into the egg mixture until a smooth batter forms, then fold in the ¼ cup poppy seeds.
Pour the batter into the prepared pan/s and let it rest for 20 minutes. Then, place in the oven and bake for about one hour or until a tester inserted in the center comes out clean (mini loaves will need less baking time).
Notes
Isn't that oven temperature high? The loaf bakes at 375F which can be higher than some regular and gluten-free recipes. However, it is not a problem here, and the loaf will bake evenly. If you think it's browning too quickly, tent foil over the top.
Make dairy-free. Use your favorite non-dairy milk or non-dairy condensed milk for the condensed milk.
Bake as a cake. Similar to a gluten free poppyseed cake, you can bake this loaf in a 9-inch round pan or a springform pan. I have not tried a bundt pan, but I think it would be lovely!
To serve: Serve the bread with softened butter or cream cheese, or sift powdered sugar over the top of the bread before serving.
