Variations for Dietary Preferences
- Gluten free flour– all purpose flour will work fine here as well
- Almond Milk – any milk will work here
- Butter– a vegan butter stick will also work here
- Monkfruit– you can use organic cane sugar for the loaf, and organic powdered sugar in the glaze
- I specify organic because cane sugar is one of the top 5 most heavily sprayed glyphosate crops. When you opt for organic you are getting cane sugar that has not been sprayed with glyphosate
- Light brown coconut sugar (one that specifies is a replacement for cane sugar) would work also, but your loaf will come out a tad darker in color
Notes
You can store the loaf or some of it in the freezer prior to adding the glaze. Let thaw under refrigeration
