Instructions

Preheat and Prepare Pan: Preheat your oven to 350 degrees F. Line an 8 x 4 inch loaf pan with parchment paper and spray it with nonstick cooking spray to ensure the bread does not stick.
Mix Wet Ingredients: In a large bowl, whisk together the plant-based yogurt, eggs, pure maple syrup, vanilla extract, and almond extract until fully combined and smooth.
Add Dry Ingredients: To the same bowl, add the gluten free oat flour, almond flour, sprinkles, baking soda, and salt. Stir with a wooden spoon until the batter is uniformly mixed.
Pour Batter and Add Topping: Pour the prepared batter into the lined loaf pan, spreading it evenly. Sprinkle the remaining 2 tablespoons of sprinkles on top for a festive look.
Bake the Bread: Bake the loaf in the preheated oven for 35 to 45 minutes, or until a toothpick inserted into the center comes out clean.
Cool and Serve: Remove from the oven, let the bread cool in the pan for 5 minutes, then transfer to a wire rack to cool completely, at least 15 minutes before slicing. Serve warm with butter or vegan butter and an optional drizzle of maple syrup.
