  • In a medium bowl sift the almond flour, brown rice flour, oat flour, sorghum flour, tapioca starch, baking soda, baking powder and salt

  • Pour the batter into prepared pan and smooth out the top with a spatula..
  • Bake for 45-50 minutes or until a toothpick comes out clean.
  • Allow bread to cool completely in the pan before icing.

Make the icing

  • In a medium bowl add the soft butter and beat until smooth. Add the cream cheese and yoghurt, beating until just combined. Add a portion of the icing sugar at a time, making sure to stir it in first with a spoon to prevent it flying everywhere. Beat it until smooth. Add more icing sugar if you prefer a thicker consistency.
  • Spread the icing over the bread with a sprinkling of finely chopped nuts if desired
  • Store in an airtight container in the refrigerator for 2-3 days.
