OMG. So amazing. I love baking. This is one reason why.
2 1/4 cups rice flour
1 cup coconut palm sugar
1/2 teaspoon himalayan crystal salt
1 1/2 teaspoons baking powder
1/2 teaspoon baking soda
2 tsp xanthan gum
1/2 cup raspberries (fresh or frozen)
1/2 cup goji berries, soaked and drained 5 mins (or use more raspberries)
2 tablespoons raw coconut oil (or any vegetable oil, not olive)
3/4 cup unsweetened orange juice
zest of 1 orange
1 egg replacer (I use 2 tbsp cornstarch mixed with 2 tbsp water)
hot water, just over 1/2 cup
Preheat oven to 375 degrees F. Grease and flour loaf pan. In a large bowl, mix dry ingredients (flour, sugar, salt, baking powder and baking soda, xanthan gum). In a small bowl, add goji berries, raspberries and 1/2 cup of dry mixture to coat the nuts and berries.
In a measuring cup, add oil and add hot water to make 3/4 cup. In a medium bowl, mix oil/water mixture, orange juice, orange zest and cornstarch.
Combine liquid mixture to dry mixture (don’t overmix!). Add more water if it is too dry. Fold in berries. Bake for about 1 hour, or until a knife inserted in the center comes out clean.
Let cool. Get zesty.
