GLUTEN-FREE CHOCOLATE STRUESEL BREAD

 I do not do gluten-free per my doctors advice. But for those of you who do, this looks good.

• 1 3/4 cup gluten free all purpose baking flour
• 1 cup Greek yogurt
• 1/2 cup sugar
• 1/4 cup almond milk
• 1/4 cup olive oil
• 2 tsp baking powder
• 1 tsp vanilla extract
• 1 egg
Streusel
• 1/2 cup raw walnuts
• 1/4 cup unsweetened shredded coconut
• 1/3 cup dark chocolate chips
• 1 tbsp hemp seeds
• 1 tsp cinnamon
• 2 tbsp brown sugar

1. Preheat the oven to 350°F. Grease and flour a loaf baking pan and set aside.
2. In a small mixing bowl, combine the walnuts, shredded coconut, dark chocolate chips, cinnamon and brown sugar. Set aside.
3. In a large mixing bowl, add the yogurt, sugar, milk, oil, vanilla, and egg. Mix the ingredients together with a wire whisk. Add the flour and baking powder and blend well.
4. Spread half the batter into the prepared baking pan. Sprinkle with half the streusel. Repeat with remaining batter and streusel. Sprinkle the hemp seeds over the streusel.
5. Bake for 25-30 minutes or until a tester comes out clean. Remove the bread from the oven and place pan on a wire rack to cool completely. Remove bread from the pan, serve and enjoy!

If desired, drizzle the bread with some extra melted chocolate before serving.
