Thanks for the recipe, Erin. I made muffins instead of bread. Filled a 10 cup pan right full with batter and got awesome, crisp ‘muffin tops’. First time that’s happened since I stopped baking with wheat. Also the first time I’ve made grain free muffins that have the same texture as wheat flour muffins. It’s that tender texture I really miss. Grain free muffins can be moist, but are usually heavy, almost ‘gummy’ and not light and fluffy like these were. Great flavor, too! Enjoy your holiday!
Colleen I’m so glad you liked it! How long did you cook them to make the muffins? I am sure I will have other people asking 🙂
