2 1/2 cups GF flour
3/4 cup sugar
1/2 cup chopped walnuts
1 tsp xanthan gum
2 tsp baking powder
1/4 tsp salt
2 1/2 tsp dried rosemary
3 eggs, slightly beaten
3/4 cup apple cider (juice or sweet white wine will work also!)
1/3 cup plus 2 Tbsp olive oil
zest of one lemon – optional

Stir together flour, sugar, walnuts, xanthan gum, salt, baking powder, rosemary and lemon zest. In another bowl, blend the cider, olive oil, and eggs together. Stir into dry ingredients. Pour batter into a greased loaf pan. Bake at 350 degrees for 50 minutes. Use a toothpick or fork to test for “done-ness” before removing from oven. Cool on a wire rack before slicing. Makes 1 loaf. Freezes well.

* If you don’t have, or just don’t like using xanthan gum, you can increase the eggs or oil or both by a bit.
