• 50 grams maize flour
• 1 tsp vanilla extract
• 1 3/4 tsp baking powder
• 3/4 tsp ground cinnamon
• 1/4 tsp xanthan gum
• 1 pinch salt
• 1/2 jar brown rice amazake (160g)
• 5 tbsp golden syrup/rice syrup
• 4 tbsp olive oil
• 2 apples, peeled, cored & diced (220g)
• 30 grams raisins (optional)

1. Preheat the oven to gas 4 / 180C / 350F and grease & flour a loaf tin
2. Mix the flours, baking powder, cinnamon, xanthan gum (if using gluten-free flour) and salt together
3. Add in the amazake, syrup, oil, apples and raisins
4. Stir into a thick but pourable batter add a few tbsp of water or rice milk as needed
5. Bake for 25 - 35 minutes until golden and the top is springy.
6. You can test in the usual way with a toothpick
7. Let cool in the tin for 5 minutes before turning out onto a wire rack
8. Cool completely then slice.
9. Serves 8 slices
10. Recipe can be doubled, bake for 45 minutes then cover with foil so it doesn't burn on top and bake a further 15 - 20 minutes.
11. Serves 8 large slices to halve
12. Amazake is a great discovery I've made!
13. The only ingredients are a grain such as rice or millet, salt and water but it tastes very sweet, almost like pudding.
14. It's generally used to make a hot drink by mixing it with hot water but I've used it here to swap out some sugar and fat.
15. It works brilliantly!
