Notes
Pan Size: It is better to use an 8.5x4.5 loaf pan than a 9x5. It'll still work but the loaf will be a little flatter in appearance.
Cooling: Make sure to cool the gingerbread completely before spreading the glaze, or the glaze will melt.
Storage: This gluten-free gingerbread loaf can be stored in the refrigerator in an airtight container for up to 5 days. Let it get to room temperature before serving or warm it up in the microwave if preferred.
Freezing: You can freeze this as a loaf or individual slices. Wrap in plastic wrap and store in a freezer-safe container for up to 2 months.
