  • Total Time: 55
  • Yield: 9-12 slices

Ingredients

Scale
  • 1 ½ cups gluten-free all-purpose flour blend
  • 1 cup granulated sugar
  • ½ cup unsalted butter, softened
  • 2 large eggs
  • ½ cup sour cream (or full-fat yogurt)
  • 1 teaspoon vanilla extract
  • 1 teaspoon baking powder
  • ½ teaspoon baking soda
  • ¼ teaspoon salt
  • 1 teaspoon ground cinnamon
  • ¼ cup brown sugar
  • ¼ cup flour (for cinnamon-sugar swirl)
  • ½ cup cold butter, cubed (for streusel)
  • ½ cup quick oats (optional for streusel)
  • ¼ cup chopped toasted nuts (optional for streusel)

Instructions

  1. Preheat the oven to 350°F (175°C) and grease a 9-inch square baking pan.
  2. In a bowl, whisk together the gluten-free flour blend, baking powder, baking soda, salt, and cinnamon.
  3. In another bowl, cream the softened butter and sugar until smooth. Add the eggs, sour cream, and vanilla, mixing until combined.
  4. Fold the dry ingredient mixture into the wet ingredients until just combined, being careful not to overmix.
  5. Layer half of the batter in the prepared pan.
  6. In a small bowl, mix the brown sugar, cinnamon, and flour to create the cinnamon-sugar swirl. Sprinkle it over the first layer of batter.
  7. Add the remaining batter on top and spread it evenly.
  8. Make the streusel by rubbing the cold cubed butter into the oats and optional nuts until crumbly, and sprinkle it over the top of the batter.
  9. Bake for 35–40 minutes, or until a toothpick inserted in the center comes out clean.
  10. Let cool for at least 15 minutes before slicing and serving.

Notes

For a dairy-free version, use coconut oil and coconut yogurt. For vegan, replace eggs with a flax egg and use plant-based yogurt.
