Indulge in the tantalizing flavors of Orange Rhubarb Bread with Almond Topping, a delectable treat that blends the tangy zest of orange and the tart sweetness of rhubarb. This quick bread is elevated by a moist and tender crumb, bursting with vibrant orange and rhubarb flavors in every bite. The crowning glory is a delectable almond topping that adds a crunchy, nutty texture and a hint of sweetness, creating a symphony of flavors that will tantalize your taste buds. This article presents two variations of the recipe – a classic version and a gluten-free adaptation – ensuring that everyone can relish this delightful treat. So, gather your ingredients and embark on a culinary journey that will leave you craving more.

**Classic Orange Rhubarb Bread:**
This recipe stays true to the traditional flavors of orange and rhubarb. Fresh rhubarb is cut into small pieces and tossed in sugar, while orange zest and juice add a burst of citrusy goodness. The batter is simple to prepare, combining flour, sugar, baking powder, baking soda, salt, and eggs. Once the batter is mixed, the rhubarb and orange mixture is folded in, creating a vibrant and flavorful combination. The bread is then baked until golden brown, emitting an enticing aroma that will fill your kitchen.

**Gluten-Free Orange Rhubarb Bread:**
For those with gluten sensitivities or preferences, this gluten-free version offers a delightful alternative without compromising on taste. Almond flour and tapioca flour replace wheat flour, creating a tender and moist crumb. The remaining ingredients, including rhubarb, orange zest, and juice, remain the same, ensuring that the bread retains its classic flavors. This variation is just as easy to prepare as the classic recipe, making it a great option for those seeking a gluten-free treat.

Both versions of the Orange Rhubarb Bread are topped with a luscious almond topping that adds a delightful crunch and nutty flavor. The topping is made with a combination of sliced almonds, melted butter, sugar, and a touch of cinnamon. As the bread bakes, the topping caramelizes, creating a golden-brown crust that adds a touch of elegance to this already irresistible treat.

  • To get the most juice out of the oranges, roll them on a hard surface before juicing them.
  • If you don't have buttermilk, you can make your own by adding 1 tablespoon of vinegar or lemon juice to 1 cup of milk. Let it sit for 5 minutes before using.
  • To make sure the bread is cooked through, insert a toothpick into the center of the loaf. If it comes out clean, the bread is done.
  • Let the bread cool for at least 10 minutes before slicing and serving.
