Ingredients
1/4 cup slivered almonds 1/4 cup packed gf brown sugar 1-1/2 cup gf flour 2/3 cup sugar 1 Tablespoon baking powder 1/2 teaspoon salt 1/4 teaspoon freshly grated nutmeg 5 Tablespoons cold unsalted butter, cut into pieces 1 large egg 1/2 cup milk 1 teaspoon gf vanilla flavoring 1-1/2 cups fresh blueberries, divided
Directions
Position the rack in the lower third of your oven. Preheat the oven to 350 degrees F. Grease a 8-1/2x4-1/2 inch loaf pan.
Combine almonds and gf brown sugar. Sprinkle mixture on the bottom of the loaf pan.
Whisk together the gf flour, sugar, baking powder, salt and nutmeg in a large bowl. Add cold butter. Cut in the butter with a pastry blender until the mixture resembles coarse crumbs. Don’t allow the butter to melt or form a paste with the flour.
Whisk together egg, milk and gf vanilla in a small bowl. Pour over flour mixture and stir until about 3/4 of the dry ingredients are moistened. Gently fold in 1 cup blueberries.
Spoon the batter into the pan and spread evenly. Bake until a toothpick inserted in the center comes out clean, about 55 to 60 minutes. Let cool in the pan on a rack for about 10 minutes. Loosen edges and invert onto the rack. Serve warm, or for a crunchier topping allow to cool completely. Garnish with remaining fresh blueberries.
