Follow The Directions

01

Step

Preheat the oven to 350 degrees F (175 degrees C). Grease a 9x5-inch loaf pan. (5 minutes)

02

Step

In a large bowl, whisk together the gluten-free flour, baking powder, baking soda, and salt. (2 minutes)

03

Step

In a separate bowl, combine the white sugar, 1/2 cup brown sugar, and oil. Stir in the buttermilk, egg, and vanilla extract until well combined. (3 minutes)

04

Step

Add the wet ingredients (buttermilk mixture) to the dry ingredients (flour mixture); mix until just combined. Be careful not to overmix. Gently fold in the chocolate chips. (3 minutes)

05

Step

Spoon half of the batter into the prepared loaf pan. (1 minute)

06

Step

In a small bowl, combine the remaining 1/3 cup brown sugar and cinnamon. Reserve 2 tablespoons of this mixture for topping. Sprinkle the remaining cinnamon mixture evenly over the batter in the loaf pan. (3 minutes)

07

Step

Spoon the remaining batter over the cinnamon layer. Gently drag a knife through the batter to create a beautiful swirl pattern. (2 minutes)

08

Step

Sprinkle the reserved 2 tablespoons of cinnamon mixture evenly over the top of the loaf. (1 minute)

09

Step

Bake in the preheated oven until a toothpick inserted into the center comes out clean, approximately 50 to 60 minutes. (50-60 minutes)

10

Step

Let the bread cool in the pan for 15 minutes before transferring it to a wire rack to cool completely. (15 minutes)

For a richer flavor, use melted butter instead of vegetable oil.
If you don't have buttermilk, you can make a substitute by adding 1 tablespoon of lemon juice or white vinegar to 1 cup of milk. Let it sit for 5 minutes before using.
Feel free to experiment with different types of chocolate chips, such as dark chocolate, white chocolate, or even peanut butter chips.
Store the cooled bread in an airtight container at room temperature for up to 3 days.

Next time, I might add some chopped nuts to the batter for extra flavor and texture.
