Instructions

Preheat your oven to 350°F (175°C). Grease a 9×5 inch loaf pan and line it with parchment paper, leaving an overhang on the sides for easy removal.

In a large bowl, whisk together the gluten-free flour blend, almond flour, sugar, baking powder, and salt.

In a separate medium bowl, beat the eggs lightly. Then, whisk in the milk, oil, and vanilla extract until well combined.

Pour the wet ingredients into the dry ingredients. Using a spatula, gently fold everything together until just combined. Be careful not to overmix; a few lumps are perfectly fine.

Spread half of the batter into the prepared loaf pan. Dollop half of the jam evenly over the batter. Use a knife to gently swirl it into the batter.

Carefully spoon the remaining batter over the top, smoothing it out. Dot with the rest of the jam and swirl again.

Bake for 50-60 minutes, or until the top is golden brown and a toothpick inserted into the center comes out clean.

Let the bread cool in the pan for 15 minutes before using the parchment paper to lift it out onto a wire rack to cool completely.

Tips & Variations for the Best Gluten-Free Bread

Let’s talk jam. If your jam is super thick, pop it in the microwave for 10 seconds to make it easier to swirl. And don’t go overboard with the swirling! A few gentle figure-eight motions are all you need. If you go too crazy, the jam will disappear into the batter. For a fun variation, try adding a teaspoon of cinnamon to the dry ingredients or swap the jam for a chocolate-hazelnut spread for a truly decadent twist. This bread also freezes beautifully. Just wrap slices tightly in plastic wrap and freeze for up to 2 months.

Serving Suggestions

This bread is a star all on its own, simply sliced and served with a pat of butter. It’s the perfect companion to your morning coffee or tea. For a special weekend brunch, turn it into French toast! Dip thick slices in an egg mixture and pan-fry until golden. Serve with fresh berries and a dusting of powdered sugar. It also pairs wonderfully with a scoop of vanilla ice cream for a simple dessert. If you’re looking for more brunch inspiration, check out my fluffy buttermilk pancakes.

Your Jam Swirl Bread Questions, Answered

Can I make this bread dairy-free?

Absolutely! Just use your favorite non-dairy milk, like almond, oat, or soy milk. The result will be just as tender and delicious.

How should I store this gluten-free bread?

Because it’s so moist, it’s best kept in an airtight container at room temperature for up to 2 days. For longer storage, I recommend keeping it in the fridge for up to a week to prevent spoilage.

My gluten-free flour blend doesn’t have xanthan gum. What should I do?

No problem! This is a common question. If your blend doesn’t include it, you’ll need to add it. For this recipe, add 1 teaspoon of xanthan gum to your dry ingredients. It’s essential for binding the bread and giving it the right structure. For more on this, Beyond Celiac has a great resource on gluten-free ingredients.

Can I use frozen fruit instead of jam?

You can, but the results will be different. Frozen berries will release a lot of water as they bake, which can make the bread soggy. If you want to try, toss about 3/4 cup of frozen berries in a tablespoon of the dry flour mix before folding them in. Jam is still your best bet for that classic, swirled effect.
