Ingredients
2 cups peeled, cored, chopped apples (2 small apples)
1 cup grated carrots (1 medium-size carrot)
2 tsp. GF ground cinnamon
1/2 tsp. GF ground nutmeg
1 cup (112 g) almond flour
3/4 cup (102 g) sweet white sorghum flour
1/2 cup (72 g) arrowroot flour
1 tsp. Baking soda
1/4 tsp. Sea salt
1/2 cup extra virgin olive oil
3 large eggs
1/3 cup pure maple syrup
1/4 cup coconut or brown sugar
1/4 cup milk
1 tsp. Pure vanilla extract
BROWN BUTTER FROSTING (optional)
1/4 cup unsalted butter
1 cup (130 g) powdered sugar (confectioner's sugar)
1 tsp. Pure vanilla extract
2 - 4 Tbsp. Of milk or cream or as needed for consistency. The milk/cream must be at room temperature
Instructions
- Preheat oven to 350 F and line a loaf pan with parchment paper
- Combine apples, carrots, cinnamon and nutmeg
- In a separate bowl, whisk together almond flour, sorghum flour, arrowroot flour, baking soda and salt
- In a bowl of an electric mixer, mix olive oil, eggs, maple syrup, and coconut/brown sugar until creamy. Add milk and vanilla and mix to combine
- Add wet mixture into dry ingredients and mix until just combined. Stir in apple carrot mixture.
- Transfer batter into the loaf pan and bake for 40 minutes. Then loosely drape a sheet of foil paper over it and continue baking for 15 - 20 minutes longer. Until a toothpick inserted in the center comes out clean. My loaf took 60 minutes to bake
- Allow to cool in the pan for 15 minutes, then transfer to a cooling rack to cool completely before slicing
- BROWN BUTTER FROSTING
- Using a small saucepan over medium heat, brown butter until it becomes an amber colour. Careful not to burn the butter. The butter will start to smell nutty when ready.
- Transfer butter into a mixing bowl, add the sugar and vanilla, and slowly add the milk/cream while whisking until smooth. Add milk or sugar as needed to reach the desired consistency
- Spread the frosting over the loaf

The apples are a nice touch and keep the loaf extra moist. One of the better gluten free loaves I have made

I love the brown butter frosting, it makes this loaf so tasty.
I agree, the brown butter frosting is super flavourful
