Fortunately
I have found that a lot of quick breads can still be made using my wheat
recipes by simply substituting my wheat-free flour mix for the wheat
flour. Occasionally I will add an extra
egg and a tad bit more baking powder to the recipe to help it hold together. The bread still manages to turn out more
crumbly than normal, but that is something I can live with! I love cranberries and I loved this simple
breakfast cake. The original recipe came
from: http://www.alexandracooks.com/2011/12/16/cranberry-buttermilk-breakfast-cake/
(note that this recipe is wheat-free NOT
gluten-free)
