Gluten Free Rhubarb Loaf is a tasty option to use seasonal rhubarb. This moist bread makes a great snack to pair with your favourite beverage.
A sweet crumble topping is added to the Rhubarb Loaf before baking that provides a crunchy contrast to the moist bread.
This seasonal loaf is always enjoyed in our house as a quick snack or with a leisurely cup of tea.
Gluten Free Rhubarb Loaf made in a deep 9″ x 5″pan can yield 12 slices. If you have smaller 9″ x 5″ pans you will want to divide the batter.

Before starting to cut the rhubarb I placed 1 tablespoon of vinegar into 1 cup of almond milk and let it sit to sour the milk.
Then I diced the rhubarb.
Next I dumped some brown sugar, one large egg and some vegetable oil into a large mixing bowl.
I stirred them together until they were well combined, breaking up any lumps of brown sugar.
Then I measured in some Bob’s Red Mill Gluten Free All Purpose Flour Blend, baking soda, xanthan gum, salt, vanilla extract and the milk that I had set aside to sour.
I used the wooden spoon again to combine all the ingredients.
Once all the ingredients were combined and the batter was smooth I dumped in the rhubard that I had diced earlier.
I folded in the rhubarb until it was incorporated into the batter.
Once the batter was ready I sprayed a deep 9″ x 5″ loaf pan with cooking spray. You could also use two smaller pans if this loaf will be too big for your needs.
Then I prepared the topping by combining granulated sugar, ground cinnamon and melted margarine in a small bowl.
I mixed them together until well combined and crumbly.
Next I scraped all of the batter into the prepared pan.
Then I sprinkled on the topping before putting it into the preheated 350F oven to bake or 65 – 75 minutes or until a toothpick inserted in the center came out clean.
If you used two smaller loaf pans it may be ready in 55 – 65 minutes.
After removing the loaf from the oven I allowed it to cool in the pan for about 10 minutes.
Then I turned the Rhubarb Loaf out onto a cooling rack to finish cooling.
Make sure it is completely cooled before slicing so it does not fall apart on you.
Gluten Free Rhubarb Loaf is a flavourful, seasonal bread that can be enjoyed on its own or with a cup of tea!

Anxious to try this since I have not made my mom's rhubarb bread since my husband went GF. Can it be made with a 1:1 GF blend (the BRM all purpose GF always tastes a little "off" to me). Thanks!

Hi Leeann, I can't see it being an issue but I have never tried that. The bonus is the xanthan gum is already in the Bob's Red Mill 1:1 Flour. If you try it let us know how it works out for you! Take care, Kathleen

I have more of a question? Can I freeze the bread and if I can how long will it last?

Hi Sarah, Yes you can freeze the rhubarb loaf. I have frozen it for as long as 4 months but I know most recommend consuming frozen baked loaves after two to three months. Take care, Kathleen

This made a nice loaf except for the fact that it makes two 9x5 loaf pans, not one like the recipe says. I had a massive overflow

Hi Karla, Sorry this happened. I have mentioned in step one now that I use a deep loaf pan and if using regular 9" x 5" pans to divide the batter between two. Thanks for letting me know, Kathleen
