A tasty gluten-free raisin (and/or cranberry, currant, cherries) cinnamon swirl bread.  It's nice and fluffy, and a bit easier than my other favorite cinnamon swirl-style breads: apple-cinnamon swirl bread, cinnamon swirl bread, monkey bread, monkey bread with drizzle, hearty-bread with cinnamon-raisin option, and pumpkin swirl bread. Enjoy!

Cinnamon Swirl Bread with currants, cranberries, and raisins. Yum!

Easy Raisin Cinnamon Swirl Bread!

Makes 2 large loaves, 6 mini loaves, or 3 mini loaves and 1 large loaf (it's versatile!)

Preheat oven to 375 F.  Line pans with parchment paper. 

In a mixer combine:

2 cups brown rice flour

1 cup white rice flour

1 cup potato starch

3/4 cup tapioca starch

1/3 cup sugar

2 Tbsp cinnamon

4 tsp rapid-rise/quick yeast

4 tsp xanthan gum

2 1/2 tsp salt

2 tsp baking powder

Add, and let beat 3-4 minutes:

2 cups warm water

6 eggs

1/4 cup butter, softened

2 Tbsp oil 

4 tsp apple cider vinegar

Fold in: 

1 cup dried fruit, like cranberries, currants, raisins, or cherries 

A combination of cranberries, currants, and raisins is my favorite, but I've done the following and it's also been delicious:

1/2 dried cranberries + 1/2 raisins

1/2 dried cherries + 1/2 currants

1/2 golden raisins + 1/2 currants

Batter ready to be scooped into prepared pans.

Scoop into prepared baking pans, filling about 2/3 full.  Smooth the tops with wet hands.  Let rise in a warm location until the dough has puffed up just above the sides of the pan.  

Mini pans filled and flattened with wet hands.

Large pan filled and flattened with wet hands, ready to rise.

Puffed nicely just over the edges, ready to bake!

Bake the loaves at 375 F.  Mini loaves will bake for ~30 minutes.  Large loaves will bake for ~45-50 minutes.   Let cool out of the pan.  Slice and enjoy!  These slice reasonably well even while still a bit warm.  We often have enjoyed this fresh with butter.  This bread will slice and toast nicely.  Delicious used in French toast, too.  Leftovers can be sliced and frozen.  Enjoy! 

Fresh from the oven.

Fresh from the oven and cooling.  These always smell so nice!

Golden raisins and dried cherries in this loaf!
