Gluten free cantaloupe bread!
I found this recipe a couple of months ago and it has since become a family favorite. I have made it countless times and it is quickly devoured in a few days.
To make it a little healthier, I modified the original recipe by cutting the sugar, using gluten free flour & avocado oil, and putting a Chinese Medicine twist on it by adding walnuts & goji berries to nourish our Kidneys & Liver energies. And instead of topping it with icing, it is sprinkled with walnuts & pecans to further reduce the sugar and keep our Spleen/Stomach energy happy.
We had a giant cantaloupe from our Yasukochi Family Farms CSA so I was able to make 6 (yes SIX) plus mini-muffins. We gifted some to our neighbors who happily enjoyed it and also gave some to our family for the holidays. 😊
The recipe is below with my modifications. Enjoy!

Preheat the oven to 325 degrees. Grease two loaf pans with butter or avocado oil spray and set aside.
